Piers Morgan is always giving it out on Twitter.
If he’s not calling for Arsene Wenger to be ejected from the Arsenal hotseat, he’s winding up trigger-happy Americans about their daft gun laws.
But while boarding a British Airways flight that Hollywood star Brad Pitt was on, he thought he’d have a little fun with his Twitter.
The Good Morning Britain presenter fired off a cheeky tweet about his prime seat number compared to that of Pitt on the BA flight, tagging the airline in it.
We can imagine the look on his face when he hit ‘post’…
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.— Piers Morgan (@piersmorgan) June 21, 2016
Only British Airways were pretty quick to set the celebrity Gooner straight with a jocular tweet that blew him out of the water.
Shot down in flames…
Ooops, seems like we made a mistake there, Piers! Any chance you could swap with him? ^Anthony

Of course, BA were joking (weren’t they?) but it didn’t stop Morgan dishing out more on Twitter to some of the other famous passengers on board the flight.
BA PLANE UPDATE:
Morgan: 1A
Anna Wintour:1F
Pitt: 6F @JackButland_One Somewhere near the back, appropriately for a goalkeeper.— Piers Morgan (@piersmorgan) June 21, 2016
But the one-time England goalkeeper wasn’t going to let the former Daily Mirror editor have the last laugh, oh no.
not that far back, 4A to be precise, had to look at the back of your head for 2 hours! thank god I slept! 😂 https://t.co/VxedzBysCs

What the hell flight was this? We’ve never seen so much as a Jonny Vegas or that bloke off the Go Compare adverts on a plane, never mind Morgan, Vogue editor Anna Wintour, Pitt and Butland.
How the other half live, eh?
