Piers Morgan appears to flout Coronavirus rules as he fails to wear a mask in taxi after date night with wife Celia
PIERS Morgan appeared to flout Coronavirus rules as he failed to wear a mask while in a taxi after a date night with his wife Celia.
The 55-year-old star has been one of the nation's biggest critics of the Government's handle on the deadly virus, and regularly berates "Covidiots" on his popular Twitter page for refusing to follow guidelines.
The Good Morning Britain presenter was pictured getting into a black cab after a night out at Harry's Bar in London.
While Celia accessorised her chic outfit with a patterned protective face covering, Piers sat beside her with both his mouth and nose exposed.
The host has his legs crossed as he settled in for the ride, holding his mobile phone in his hands.
Piers did not appear to be in possession of a face mask, with stating: "You must wear a face covering when using taxis or private hire vehicles.
"You will be breaking the law if you fail to do so and could be fined. A taxi driver or private hire vehicle operator will be entitled to refuse to accept you if you do not wear a face covering."
It is not clear whether Piers put on a mask later into his journey, and The Sun have contacted the star's rep for comment.
Piers has had many explosive run-ins with Government ministers on Good Morning Britain due to their handling of the ongoing pandemic, and also berates social media followers for not following guidelines.
Piers also recently blasted Rita Ora for breaking lockdown rules after the singer hosted her 30th birthday party at Notting Hill restaurant Casa Cruz last month.
Appalled by Rita's decision to hold a party for 30 people outside her social bubble, Piers weighed in: "These celebs, I'll do what I want and no one else matters, I don't get it...
"What's the restaurant doing allowing all those people in?"
