‘He’s A Liar!’ Piers Morgan Blasts Omid Scobie<\/h3>\n

Piers Morgan has been slamming Lioness star Mary Earps since she won BBC\u2019s Sports Personality Of The Year earlier this week, with the journalist claiming she didn\u2019t deserve the award.<\/p>\n

He initially aired his opinion through an article on the Talk TV site shortly after the winner was revealed, writing: \u201cThe heavy hand of box-ticking looms large over this victory. It feels to me that the Sports Personality Award is becoming the national equivalent of a participation medal. Didn\u2019t they all do well?\u201d<\/p>\n

Taking the subject to his Talk TV show, the 58-year-old made a staggering revelation as he admitted that despite his reaction to the results he hadn\u2019t used his chance to share his opinion on the topic before the announcement.<\/p>\n

Sports journalist Bianca Westwood joined Piers\u2019 panel on Wednesday evening and after the host finished his initial monologue she simply questioned while shooting Piers a wicked side-eye: \u201cDid you vote?\u201d<\/p>\n

When Piers revealed he hadn\u2019t joined the public vote, Bianca slammed: \u201cWell if you care so much about it why didn\u2019t you?\u201d<\/p>\n

The former News of the World editor tried to explain his choice not to vote saying: \u201cEver since the British public voted to name a boat Boaty McBoatface, I realised they couldn\u2019t be trusted.\u201d<\/p>\n

Piers then added that as an “impartial” reporter he doesn’t take part in public votes.<\/p>\n

Swiftly moving on, Piers questioned the sports reporter: \u201cDid she deserve to win? Prince William was on Twitter today saying \u2018hugely well deserved\u2019, why was it hugely well deserved?\u201d<\/p>\n

Bianca explained that the criteria for the award only look at the nominees\u2019 sporting achievements over the past year and the impact of those achievements beyond the sport itself.<\/p>\n

Piers argued: \u201cShe\u2019s the only loser of the seven nominees,\u201d pointing out that the goalkeeper hadn\u2019t been part of a winning team in professional competitions over the past year.<\/p>\n
