RACE ROW PIERS FACES FIVE YEARS IN JAIL

-

MOTORMOUTH Piers Morgan faces YEARS in a high- security PRISON with nonces and terrorists – after taking the piss out of the Chinese on live TV.

Around a thousand people complained to OfCom after the 54- year- old mocked the Chinese tongue on Good Morning Britain.

The outspoken presenter was ranting about Princess Anne’s son doing a dairy farm advert, saying the farm is called “Ching Chong Ching”.

Speaking alongside his co- host Susanna Reid, Piers said: “I like Peter Phillips – I met him at a lunch last year – but that is not a good look for the Royals. Flogging Chinese State owned milk – it’s a state owned dairy farm.

“All these actors go to China to do these terrible ads, thinking we’d never see them, and Peter thinks the same.

“This is the problem – people want associatio­n with the Royals… they want to exploit them. He should be flogging milk made here.

“What’s the name of it? Ching Chong Ching?” Susanna said: “Taking the mickey out of foreign languages is rather 1970s”.

One viewer tweeted: “Good lord! Piers made the Asian stereotype.”

An ITV source said: “Piers is on thin ice with this sort of thing.”

And a legal adviser, who asked not to be named for fear of reprisals, said Morgan could also face up to five years in jail – possibly in a high- security jail like terror prison Belmarsh – for his comments.

Our mole said: “No one – even celebs like Morgan – can go around saying stuff like Ching Chong Ching these days without expecting to do serious bird.”
