Piers Morgan reacts to claim he fancies Tess Holliday amid weight feud
Piers Morgan, 57, has been vocal about his distaste for Tess Holliday, who weighs 300lbs, ever since she landed a Cosmopolitan cover way back in 2018. The TalkTV star has now delivered a one-word response after Tess, 37, quizzed: “Are you trying to f*** [me]?”
Taking to Twitter to address her claims, he joked to his 8.4 million followers: “Rumbled!”
Jeremy Clarkson’s daughter Em interviewed “one of the most famous plus size women in the world” alongside Alex Light on the pair’s podcast, Should I Delete That? – and it generated some explosive commentary.
Tess exclaimed: “When [the] Cosmo [cover] happened and [Piers] was just going on and on about my health, I said, ‘I don’t know man, it just feels like you’re kind of like, are you into me? Are you trying to f***?'”
She then raged that people like the fiery broadcaster had “too much time on their hands” and didn’t want to “admit that they’re attracted to fat people”.

Tess took to Twitter and tagged him to let him know that it had been nominated for Cover of the Year at the PPA Awards, only for him to hit back that she was “going to die”.
At the time, he told audiences on Good Morning Britain: “To put it in context, she’s 110lbs heavier than me, she’s 11 inches smaller – and that is a body positive image to be celebrated and winning awards?”
Meanwhile, Tess stated to Em Clarkson on the new podcast that she has suffered from anorexia, and the 28-year-old host described her as a “force to be reckoned with”.
She has been named by Time magazine as one of the most influential people in the world, and named by Vogue Italia in its Top Six list of plus-size models.
However, the debate between Piers, who has blasted that her 300lb weight makes her “unhealthy” and Tess, who defiantly asks why he cares, continues.
Piers Morgan’s representative has been contacted by Express.co.uk for comment.
