PIERS Morgan stormed off the GMB set, Patsy Palmer slammed down her laptop lid in rage during an interview and across the pond Sharon Osbourne fell out with her co-presenters on The Talk.
It seems lockdown rage is rife in the showbiz world, with stars unleashing accusations and barbed words at each other at every opportunity over the past few weeks.
Pandemic fury is something none of us can escape as cooped up Brits are getting increasingly snappy with friends and family.
A study from Kings College London last year found over half the population (53 per cent) have felt angry with other people because of their pandemic behaviour.

Patsy Palmer’s virtual flounce
Anger rating: 3/5
The Ex-Eastenders actress, 48, slammed her laptop shut during a chat on GMB this week.
She had taken offence to the show describing her as an “addict to wellness guru” at the bottom of the screen.
Mum-of-four Patsy told Susanna Reid and Ben Shepherd: “I don’t even want to do this interview because I don’t even want to look at what it says at the bottom of the screen.
“So I’m going to switch off, do a real Piers Morgan.”

The hosts tried to explain placate the actress by saying she’d spoken about addiction in her book but Patsy switched off her camera.
She later posted online: “For all of the trolls and haters and people on here judging me, go f*** yourselves.”
Sharon Osbourne’s Talk tears
Anger rating: 2/5
Sharon Osbourne has angrily accused producers of her US panel show The Talk of setting her up.
Sharon, 68, had been defending her pal Piers Morgan over his criticism of Meghan Markle last week in a chat with co presenter Sheryl Underwood, 57.

She lashed out at Sheryl: “I feel like I’m about to be put in the electric chair because I have a friend who many people think is a racist so that makes me a racist.”
Since the segment aired, former co-hosts Leah Remini and Holly Robinson Peete have come forward with racist allegations against Sharon.
The CBS show has been taken off the air while an investigation into the fight ensues.
Piers Morgan’s storm off
Anger rating: 4/5
ITV loudmouth Piers, 55, sensationally quit his GMB after a row with weatherman Alex Beresford, 40.

He said: “I’m sorry but Piers spouts off on a regular basis and we all have to sit there and listen, 6.30 to 7 o’clock yesterday was incredibly hard to watch.”
After the on-air dust up, the news veteran stormed off set and later handed in his resignation.
The TV moment has received over 57,000 Ofcom complaints to date.
Piers tweeted: “I’ve had more people than that come up & congratulate me in the street for what I said.
“The vast majority of Britons are right behind me.”

A leaked audio tape from filming at Warner Bros Studios in Leavesden, Herts, captured his rant.
He shouted: “We’re not shutting this f***ing movie down. Is it understood? If I see it again, you’re f***ing gone.”
In October, the Top Gun actor held crisis talks with the film’s director Christopher McQuarrie, 52, after 12 people on set in Italy were said to have tested positive.
Kanye West’s meltdown
Anger rating: 2/5
During the rapper’s failed presidential bid he broke down in tears at a campaign event in June last year.
The father-of-four, 43, told the crowd that he and his wife Kim Kardashian almost aborted their first child, North.

He later unleashed a Twitter tirade called his mother-in-law Kris Jenner “Kris Jung-un” in an unflattering comparison to the North Korean dictator.

This year, Kim and Kanye filed for divorce in February.
