British broadcaster Piers Morgan was forced to deny he is the pigeon lady in Home Alone 2 after a comparison image between him and the actress who actually played the pigeon lady surfaced online.
The side-splitting moment occurred on Good Morning Britain Tuesday morning when co-host of the show Susanna Reid brought up the image.
She said: “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.”
Laughing, Morgan said: “Why does this keep coming around? That is not me. I am not the bag lady in Home Alone 2“.
Morgan’s denial held little gravitas after Reid said she had proof Piers was lying, revealing a picture of the TV host in 2018 covered in pigeons.

A resemblance between Morgan and the “pigeon lady” was first highlighted by Morgan’s son Spencer, who tweeted an image of the character in 2018.

“Chilled night watching Home Alone 2,” Spencer Morgan wrote. “Always forget you’re in it @piersmorgan.”
Reid also revealed the actress who plays the pigeon lady – Brenda Fricker – finds the comparison hilarious.
