Piers Morgan abruptly ended an interview with controversial influencer Harrison Sullivan, known as HSTikkyTokky, after Sullivan displayed a provocative 2022 Instagram post featuring Morgan’s wife, Celia Walden. The incident occurred during a discussion about Sullivan’s appearance in Louis Theroux’s Netflix documentary, “Inside the Manosphere,” which explores the online “manosphere” and its associated ideologies.
The exchange escalated when Sullivan presented the image of Walden, a journalist and novelist, posing in a bikini with a sign reading “Wanted – Pool Boy, no experience needed,” and a caption stating, “Warning to applicants: like the pool, HIGH MAINTENANCE.” Sullivan reportedly said, “That’s your ting bro, that’s your girl,” prompting Morgan to call for the interview to be terminated.
“Let’s end this, please… You know what? I’m not doing this. Sorry, guys, it’s pointless,” Morgan stated before walking off camera, according to reports. Sullivan, who has been criticized for promoting misogynistic and homophobic views, continued to laugh as Morgan left the set.
Following the interview, Sullivan posted a video online describing Morgan as “one of the most spineless men” he had ever met. He further attacked Morgan on X, formerly Twitter, accusing him of seeking approval from “woke leftists” and alleging impropriety in Morgan’s personal life. “He got punked on his own show, and his wife gets f**ked by other men. How embarrassing, Piers,” Sullivan wrote in one post.
Sullivan gained notoriety through his online presence, characterized by a lavish lifestyle and controversial rhetoric. In Theroux’s documentary, Sullivan was filmed chanting antisemitic slurs in Spain and promoting views considered deeply offensive. The documentary brought increased scrutiny to Sullivan’s online activities and the broader “manosphere” community.
Celia Walden is a British journalist, columnist, and novelist, the daughter of Conservative MP George Walden and art historian Sarah Walden. She and Morgan married in 2010 and have one daughter together. Walden previously described a temporary separation from Morgan during the Covid-19 pandemic as a “reboot” for their relationship.
As of Thursday, March 19, 2026, neither Morgan nor representatives for his show, *Piers Morgan Uncensored*, have publicly commented on the interview or Sullivan’s subsequent posts. Sullivan, however, has continued to post about the incident on his social media channels.
