Piers Morgan's son mocks him over similarity to 'pigeon lady' in 'Home Alone'

Is it just us, or were Piers Morgan and the Central Park ‘pigeon lady’ from Home Alone 2: Lost In New York separated at birth?

Well, it’s not just us. Morgan’s own son Spencer is also of this opinion.

And he tweeted as much yesterday, with a still from the movie and the message: “Chilled night watching Home Alone 2. Always forget you’re in it @piersmorgan.”

The Good Morning Britain host replied with solid emoji fury.

The pigeon lady is, of course, Oscar-winning Irish actress Brenda Fricker, who appeared in a cameo role in the 1992 movie opposite Macaulay Culkin.

Followers of prolific tweeter Morgan were soon proclaiming that Spencer had ‘won the internet’ with his post, and so far it’s been re-tweeted well over 1000 times.

A little payback embarrassment may have been in order, after Morgan ribbed his GMB co-presenter Susanna Reid on live TV yesterday.

Returning from a few days off, he held aloft a front page news story of Reid and her ‘new boyfriend’, Crystal Palace chairman Steve Parish.

“So many interesting things I had to catch up on. Well, when the cat is away,” he said.
