Piers Morgan has blasted Stephen Fry and begged him to quit his “mind-numbing” and “tedious” Twittering.

Fry, has approximately one million followers on social networking site Twitter and recently threatened to leave the site after a spat with a fellow user.

Morgan told Contactmusic: “Fry spends all day posting unutterably tedious messages to the world’s ‘twits’ about himself, then bleats like a baby when one of them has the gall to point out what the rest of us can read with our own eyes – he’s just bloody boring.

“This is mind-numbing tedium of almost epic proportions. I look for a glimmer of self-awareness, some slither of humour or irony from Britain’s supposedly smartest, funniest man, but there comes none.”
