Piers Morgan told he’s going to get ‘beheaded by ISIS’ in shocking online death threats
PIERS MORGAN has revealed that among the abuse he receives online, he has also had ISIS death threats.
The controversial Good Morning Britain host has apparently been targeted by so-called Islamic State, but his chosen response usually sees the offending tweet quickly deleted.
The 52-year-old said that he doesn’t get scared by the shock remarks, saying it is the “quiet” ones that make him uneasy.
"I was told I was going to get beheaded by ISIS,” Piers commented. “But I like getting death threats like that because the people tend to misspell 'you're’.”
The presenter continued: “They tell me, 'Your going to be beheaded by ISIS’, so I correct their grammar and the next thing you know, the tweet is deleted.

“My favourite thing is when you reply, then go onto their account and it says 'account deleted’,” during an interview with DigitalSpy.
The chat show star went on to say it is others he does not hear from that concerns him the most.
"I don't get scared of death threats on Twitter. It's not the people who threaten you that you should be worried about, it's the people who are quiet about it! So no, it doesn't upset me,” Piers stated.

Piers added: “I get very scared of these women – some of them are psychos.
“It is intimidating when a woman walks in to be interviewed and is escorted by three armed guards!”
