English business magnate, media personality, politician
and political adviser, Lord Alan Sugar, today turned 70, and got the perfect
'birthday present', as he gagged TV host and popular Arsenal fan, Piers Morgan
and forced him to wear a Tottenham jersey (Tottenham and Arsenal are long time
football rivals) for 24 hours with the proceeds, about £50,000 going to
charity.
On Wednesday’s Good Morning Britain program, Piers said he'll go silent on
Twitter if the British public raised £5000 for Comic Relief.
Soon after Piers said it, Lord Alan Sugar posted a video on Twitter
offering to pay the amount as it was his duty to the nation, with other
celebrities like Holly Willoughby, Bradley Walsh, Rio Ferdinand, Robbie Savage
and Jamie Redknapp, all donating different amounts to get him in the shirt,
with the total sum totaling £50,000.
Alan said on Twitter:
‘Five grand to
silence Piers Morgan for a whole day on Twitter? That’s the bargain of the
century.
‘Comic Relief, send
me the bill straight away. I’ll pay it immediately. It’s gonna be a wonderful
day without that nutter clogging up the whole of Twitter with his nonsense for
the whole day.’
