‘Why does this keep happening?’ Piers Morgan is forced to deny he is Home Alone 2’s Pigeon Lady as Susanna Reid claims she can prove it’s him
Piers Morgan has been forced to deny he is not the pigeon lady, played by Brenda Fricker, in 1992 movie, Home Alone 2.
The hilarious moment came on Good Morning Britain on Tuesday when Piers, 55, said he had no point in the movie which also stars his former pal Donald Trump.
Susanna Reid, 49, said to much laughter: ‘Can we just have a look at Home Alone 2 because, frankly, it is the best picture.

‘Because lots of people watch Home Alone 2 and wonder if this is you.’
Piers hit back: ‘Why does this keep coming around? That is not me. I am not the bag lady in Home Alone 2.’
Claiming to have proof that Piers was telling porkies, she showed a pictured of him taken in 2018 in which he was covered in pigeons.

In Home Alone, the Pigeon Lady comes to Macaulay Culkin’s character Kevin’s rescue after he is cornered in Central Park.
Susanna also said the actress, Brenda, 75, is quite happy with the comparison and is said to find the whole thing hilarious.
Earlier this year, Dublin-born Brenda admitted she threw her Best Supporting Actress Oscar for the film My Left Foot to the bottom of a swimming pool in Connemara in 1989.

Speaking to Ryan Tubridy on The Late Late Show, she produced the famous statuette saying: ‘look at the state of it! It’s in bits!’
‘I threw that into the swimming pool in Renvyle Hotel in the west of Ireland in Connemara.
‘It was wintertime and there was a group of Japanese tourists around. For some reason I changed my clothes that day and they had in the hotel… They gave me a sort of Hawaiian-looking shirt with two big pockets in it. For some reason, I had a lot of cash on me and nowhere to put it, so I put it into the two pockets.
‘We were all drunk around the pool and they wanted to see the Oscar and I threw the Oscar in the pool and then I thought, “Oh Jesus, I better get it back!”
‘And I jumped in and all the money [fell out] and all the Japanese tourists jumped in to get the money. It was heroic of them, it was amazing. So it has many stories to tell!’
