Piers Morgan has slammed Little Mix for body shaming after being left “shocked” by their treatment of him at the Brit Awards.

Morgan, 53, reignited his feud with the girl group after watching them laugh as host Jack Whitehall made a joke about his appearance on live TV.

The comedian referenced the time Morgan accused the girls of “using sex” to sell their new music, joking “voluptuous breasts and four chins […] must have been like looking in the mirror for him”.

The four piece laughed before Whitehall asked Jesy Nelson: “What would you say to that dutty wasteman?”

Tweeting the clip Morgan wrote: “Shocked & disappointed to see @LittleMix LAUGH as @jackwhitehall fat-shames me on national television.

“It’s just this kind of public negative body image mockery that the same @LittleMix campaigned against & of which I am now a victim. Shame on you, ladies! #BRITS⁠.”

Taking aim at Whitehall he finished: “And as for chins, at least I’ve got some, you chinless little weed @jackwhitehall. #BRITS⁠.”

Morgan lambasted the group last year after they posed naked and covered themselves in the insulting remarks they have endured throughout their career in a bid to inspire young people to feel confident in themselves.

The Good Morning Britain presenter accused them of “using sex to sell records” and slammed any suggestion the campaign was empowering.

He later compared Nelson to a ‘grim’ advert on an adult dating website after she called him a “t***” and posted a picture of herself posing in Calvin Klein underwear.

Little Mix performed their new single Woman Like Me with Ms Banks at last night’s Brit Awards which saw them pick up British Video for the song.
