Over the years the 54-year-old has had major fallings-out with Lily Allen, Hugh Grant, Jeremy Clarkson, Jameela Jamil, Emma Watson and Little Mix to name but a few.
He has hit back at trolls, and has been quick to take offence at those who disagree with him.
But, post-corona, Piers has pledged to change the way he uses the platform.

As he backed The Sun's brilliant Who Cares Wins awards, celebrating our brave frontline workers, Piers told The Sun on Sunday: "I don't think I will ever go back to the way I used to use Twitter, the old style stuff.

"So much of it was vile and hostile, arguing with the Trolls, and I'm not going to engage with people like that any more. I don't want to lose sense of that platform for good – I want to keep the element of fun, but with no more pointless arguments with people like Jameela Jamil.
"It's draining, and it's divisive, and right now I am really enjoying being able to effect change for good, and use my platform in a really effective and helpful way."

Meanwhile Piers also suggested other celebrities such as Kim Kardashian should follow his example when it comes to what they post online.

He added: "I hope this situation has given us all some perspective and, that once it’s over, we will stop worshipping material stuff and realise it really does not matter what Kim Kardashian has to say.

"None of it matters.No one gives a rat’s ar*e about Kim’s latest barbs with Taylor Swift.

"These people should be using their platforms to raise awareness about health workers and the importance of staying at home, not for their own gain.
