British Airways Twitter Gets Sassy With Piers Morgan, Immediately Has Second Thoughts

That should knock him down a peg.

Piers Morgan can be a divisive figure, particularly when his unique style of tweeting is involved.

On Tuesday morning he used his social media presence to suggest his placement on a British Airways flight to London was an example of his heightened celebrity.

He essentially said he was more well known than Golden Globe winner Brad Pitt.

So Brad Pitt just got on my @British_Airways plane to London. He's in seat 6F, I'm in 1A.
This settles my celebrity status once and for all.

Luckily, the social media team at BA were on hand to offer a suitably sassy response.

@piersmorgan Ooops, seems like we made a mistake there, Piers! Any chance you could swap with him? ^Anthony

Although one suggests 'Anthony' may have quickly been having second thoughts and weighing up his job prospects.

@piersmorgan We're only joking of course, Piers. Enjoy the flight! ^Anthony

And it appears one tweeter may have figured out the reasoning behind Brad's choice of seat...

@piersmorgan @British_Airways He was in 1B before he found out who was in 1A!

Relax Anthony, Piers won't be calling for you to fired any time soon.

NO! > RT @British_Airways: @piersmorgan Ooops, seems like we made a mistake there, Piers! Any chance you could swap with him?
