It all started when an image of Piers and the character side-by-side went viral, with many claiming they bear a resemblance to each other.

However, the Good Morning Britain host, 55, has denied being in any way associated with the character, played by Brenda Fricker in the 1992 film Home Alone 2, after being pressed on the matter by his co-host Susanna Reid.

"Why does this keep coming around?", Piers said, to which Susanna replied: "Because frankly it is the best picture.

"Because lots of people watch Home Alone 2 and wonder if this is you, Piers Morgan."

However, Piers insisted: "It’s not me, I’m not the bag lady in Home Alone 2."

Susanna hit back with: "You are the pigeon lady in Home Alone 2.

"Your character helped save Kevin when he’s cornered in the park by the wet bandits."

Piers then retorted: "It’s not my character, I’m nothing to do with it."

Viewers were in hysterics at the comparison, with one joking: "We’ve never seen you and the pigeon lady in the same room have we?"
