I’M A Celebrity fans rushed to defend Giovanna Fletcher after Piers Morgan asked “who is she?”
The GMB presenter made the swipe on Twitter, which was aimed at the best-selling author, 35, after she was crowned the first ever queen of the castle on Friday night.
Piers shared an article published by The Sun with his 7.6million followers which revealed that Giovanna’s Towie star brother Mario Falcone thinks that his sister could easily replace him in the realm of television presenting.
In an exclusive interview Mario, 32, told us that he thinks the British public would prefer to wake up to his sister on their telly rather than Piers.
And it looks like this hasn’t sat well with the journalist.
The 55-year-old wrote alongside the article: “Great idea. Who is she?”
And many of Giovanna’s fans rushed to her defence.
One replied to his tweet: “She’s a published author, has her own podcast and a programme on CBeebies! (Also has more followers across all social media platforms that you!) She has been on Loose Women and GMB! Show some respect you know exactly who she is!”
Another wrote: “She is a Sunday Times number 1 best selling author. Can you say the same?”
A third said: “Be kind she is Tom flechers wife (mcfly) she is a hosts for mums and babies story time and music. No gossip just a kind gentle person!!”
A fourth said: “Someone with more followers than you (which is what you always use to value a human so).”
A fifth chimed in: “Oh Piers. For once, your sass is actually ill thrown. She’s lovely. Although I wouldn’t worry about your job. She’s probably got something else in mind :-).”
At 24 Piers kick started his career in journalism working for a number of British tabloids including The Sun.
The star then began to expand in other realms of the media – including TV.
He bagged himself a range of shows including Piers Morgan’s Life Stories in 2009 and Piers Morgan live in 2011, and now he co-hosts ITV’s Good Morning Britain every morning.
Giovanna has had a much different life, but nonetheless, still had a very successful career.
The I’m A Celebrity winner grew up in Essex and is married to her childhood sweet heart, McFly star Tom Fletcher.
The couple have three boys together – Buzz Michelangelo, Buddy Bob and Max Mario.
Giovanna also has own blog and is the host of “happy mum, happy baby” podcast, where she discusses all things parenting, is a presenter of The Baby Club on CBeebies and has a whopping 1.3 million followers on Instagram.
Not only that, she’s also a best-selling author and has written 11 books.
On Friday night Giovanna beat telly presenter Vernon Kay and Radio 1’s Jordan North to the top spot on the 20th series of I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out of Here.
When she was crowned queen of the castle, she told hosts Ant and Dec: “I can’t believe people actually picked up the phone and voted. I can’t believe it, it’s been the most amazing experience.”
Over the weekend she was finally reunited with her three little boys and took to Instagram to share some adorable pictures of their reunion.
She captioned the emotional snaps: “Mumma Gi here and I’m thrilled to say I’m home with my boys and Tom and soaking up all the kisses and cuddles I’ve missed.
“They’ve been extremely excited to talk to me about all the trials, wear my crown (they think they’re now Princes and that we’re moving into the castle), and then make me watch their new favourite show… @imacelebrity.
“Three weeks ago I walked into a Welsh castle and straight into the arms of 11 wonderful humans for what felt like the most uplifting, hilarious and emotional camping trip of all time.

“Stepping out of your comfort zone can be a scary but amazing thing, and I’m so glad I took on this adventure alongside the incredible @jessicakate_plummer @vicderbyshire @beverleycallard @ruthiehenshallofficial @holliearnold8 @vernonkay @jordannorth1 @theshanerichie @aj11ace @gomofarah @officialrussellwatson.”
Giovanna continued: “It’s been a whirlwind 24hours and I can’t thank everyone enough for all the support – whether you’ve watched along and laughed (and cried) with us, commented or voted. It’s been a total blast.
“Huge love to @antanddec for being complete and utter legends – even when making me eat a bull’s penis.
” I also have to give a shout out to EVERY SINGLE person who works on the show – you helped make this so special.”
