Fans have demanded to know why Piers Morgan and his sons were allowed to party on the pitch as Arsenal celebrated their title triumph.

The TV star and his lads Spencer, Stanley and Albert were given VIP access as the Gunners collected their prize after winning the Premier League for the first time in 22 years. As they showed off at Selhurst Park, plenty were left stunned that the family were parading with the players after the match, moments after the trophy was lifted.

Supporters likened their appearance to when Salt Bae - the Turkish chef Nusret Gökçe - famously gatecrashed Argentina's victory in the 2022 FIFA World Cup final victory over France.

The Gunners-mad family weren't the only once joining in with EastEnders star Jake Wood, Max Branning on the BBC soap, also celebrating with the team.

Many pointed out that it should have been left to the title-winning players and their families to mark the special moment, and a celebrity free-zone. Piers' Instagram account was flooded with complained as well as congratulations after the Arsenal fans' suffering came to an end.

“He’s the Arsenal equivalent of Salt Bea trying to make it all about him," one wrote as the former GMB host flaunted pictures of himself with the players and head coach Mikel Arteta. “Sad old man. It’s about Arsenal d*****d, not about you. You are equal to Salt Bae.. Embarrassing.”

Another pointed out the Piers had called for the manager to get sacked not so long ago, writing: “Absolutely shameless with all the things you have said about him."

Piers even posed with a medal around his neck, which was too much for one supporter, who fumed: “Why the f…. is this nutcase with the players with a medal?” Many questioned: “Why are you on the pitch? Insufferable" as a commenter chipped in: “This is like the salt steak guy on the pitch when Argentina won the World Cup”.

Line of Duty star Adrian Dunbar was also seen in the stands with Piers just before the final whistle.

Salt Bae vowed never to invade the football pitch again after joining Argentina's World Cup celebrations following the final in Qatar after he held the iconic trophy - an honour usually reserved for heads of state, FIFA officials and the winners themselves.

The celebrity chef received widespread condemnation after being seen on the playing surface at Lusail Stadium . Gökçe was shown awkwardly interacting with players, including Lionel Messi , as they celebrated becoming world champions after a thrilling penalty shoot-out win over France.

Arsenal manager Mikel wasn't bothered about the guests and told Sky Sports : “That was beautiful. Look at the joy of all of the people, the have been waiting for this for so long. We have had difficult moments along the way but it is all worth it when you see that kind of reaction.

“Now it is time to enjoy and take the manager hat off. I think we showed an incredible connection commitment and courage. Everything around us has fuelled our desire to do it. We have an incredible ownership. Through the tough times is when you really see people.

“They have incredible values and know the sport better than any of us. They have committed to the project that we have delivered. They have been instrumental.”
