Piers Morgan is rowing with Olly Murs about causing Twitter panics and it feels very 2017
Piers Morgan and Olly Murs are having a right set-to after the singer tweeted about tonight’s incident in central London which thankfully proved to be a false alarm.
Tweets like these, for instance.
Fuck everyone get out of @Selfridges now gun shots!! I’m inside

Really not sure what’s happened! I’m in the back office… but people screaming and running towards exits!
— Olly Murs (@ollyofficial) November 24, 2017
Evacuating store now!!! Fuck heart is pounding

Except there were no gunshots and there was no terror attack, which is when Morgan got involved and it all got a bit lively.
Stop tweeting mate @ollyofficial. Nothing happened.

Listen piers! I was shopping and then all of sudden the whole place went mad, I mean crazy people running & screaming towards exits. We found a small office to hide to which loads of staff and people were saying there was shots fired. If you was there you’d have understood mate. https://t.co/mnZBTSLod4

No. You listen, Olly. When you have millions of followers be very careful what you tweet. There were no shots, in fact nothing happened at all. So you stirred extra needless panic by tweeting false information. https://t.co/6L3xTBlwuA

No you listen Piers.. your comments are unfair mate. It’s Easy to say now it was nothing but in a state of shock and panic I was trying to make people aware of what was happening. Which I was lend to believe by staff and customers that someone was shooting. https://t.co/qFJRfOpqJk

Leave it to the police next time.
It’s not your place to tell people to evacuate or say (wrongly) that shots were fired. You could have put people in more danger. https://t.co/AJv8rj3fii— Piers Morgan (@piersmorgan) November 24, 2017
Murs told his 8 million followers that everything was okay.
Being told no shots in Selfridges! Have no idea the whole store went crazy!

Expect to see Murs on the Good Morning Britain sofa on Monday. Maybe they can get Jeremy Hunt and Ralf Little in at the same time.
