Piers let rip at celebrities for moaning about their luxury lives in lockdown

"Ricky Gervais has spoken for all of us, or certainly for me today,” he said.

He added: “I don’t want to hear it either. You look at some celebrities who have done amazing things, using their power and influence for real good.

"And others post these videos, Madonna from her mansion, from her rose petal, candle-lit bath wailing away as if this could improve morale instead of destroy it.

"It’s a very interesting realignment of priorities here, where people have been reminded who the real stars of society are and we’ve got very intolerant actually of those who seemed important before.

Piers has long criticised celebrities

"I don’t think Harry and Meghan wanted to be on the front pages today, I think they probably just wanted to be quiet but they’re on the front pages because one of their friends had spoken to Harry and said he’s finding it challenging.

"Of course this grates because they are currently in a mansion, which they are probably not even paying for, in Malibu, in Los Angeles, self-isolating having to do nothing at all. No-one wants to hear about Prince Harry’s challenging life.

"Again, he’s not given an interview but I would advise all their friends to not do this. We don’t want to hear about the struggle and battle of celebrities in multi-million pounds mansions.”

Funnyman Ricky Gervais said celebrities, including himself, should not be whining about having to stay indoors.

Instead, he said, Britain should be lining up on a Thursday evening to applaud our NHS heroes.

Give now to The Sun's NHS appeal

BRITAIN’s four million NHS staff are on the frontline in the battle against coronavirus.

In an exclusive interview with The Sun before lockdown, Ricky said: "After this is over I never want to hear people moaning about the welfare state again, I never want to hear people moaning about nurses again. Or porters.

"These people are doing 14-hour shifts and not complaining. Wearing masks, and being left with sores, after risking their own health and their families’ health selflessly.

"But then I see someone complaining about being in a mansion with a swimming pool. And, you know, honestly, I just don’t want to hear it."
