It all started when an image of Piers and the character side-by-side went viral, with many claiming they bear a resemblance to each other.
However, the Good Morning Britain host, 55, has denied being in any way associated with the character, played by Brenda Fricker in the 1992 film Home Alone 2, after being pressed on the matter by his co-host Susanna Reid.
