British media personality Piers Morgan boasted on Sunday night about co-hosting a TV show while suffering from three broken ribs. He also took a dig at “snowflakes” and claimed he was “manning up.”
UPDATE: I'll be co-hosting @GMB tomorrow with 3 broken ribs. For the more fragile snowflakes among you, this is called 'manning up'. 👊👊

Squeezed a baby out of any orifice & go home from hospital next day to care for it & husband? Didn't think so. Grow a pair. Of ovaries.

You're literally paid to sit on a sofa. I can't think of many injuries that would prevent you from doing that.

Evangeline Lilly did phyiscal work on The Hobbit after childbirth when her hips were still splayed. That's pretty badass too.

Oh. "GMB" is a TV show. For a moment there I thought you were bragging about doing, y'know, actual work.

But carry on and man up, bro.
I went to work for 2 months straight with a broken leg. No cast, no crutches. Didn't even tweet about. Sorry, you're so weak.

.@piersmorgan@GMB I took care of a 2 year old with 3 broken ribs, a fractured collar bone and a torn rotator cuff. It's called being a mom.

2 weeks ago I did work whilst passing a particularly painful kidney stone, but I'm not a man, so what the f*** was I doing?

What does he think everyone else w broken ribs does? Takes to their bed for months? Talking on the tv is hardly manual work

Don't listen to the naysayers - Those people have no idea how hard it is for you to pull your head out of your arse and talk to the camera.
