Piers Morgan has once again been forced to deny he played the Pigeon Lady in Home Alone 2: Lost In New York.
Over the years, the TV host, 58, has found himself replying to social media users who are convinced he had a role in the beloved Christmas flick.
And this year was no different as Piers spotted an X post from someone who was enjoying the beloved festive film.
The user shared a photo of the Pigeon Lady, who was played by Irish actress Brenda Fricker, and wrote: ‘Not sure how many acting credits he has but this is @piersmorgan’s finest work’.
Piers replied to the post by writing: ‘It’s. Not. Me.’
Several users jokingly replied to his post, writing: ‘How did I not know this? You were amazing in Home Alone 2.’

Piers spotted an X post from someone who joked Home Alone was Piers’ finest work to which he replied: ‘It’s. Not. Me.’
‘Sure, that’s what they all say’… ‘You don’thave to hide it, it’s your best work.’
‘Just say “thank you for supporting my work” and move on’… ‘Just take the credit and say it’s you, easier.’
‘It’s that time of year again, Piers. Hope you get a big residual check this year.’
Piers spoke about the comparisons on Good Morning Britain back in 2020.
His former co-host Susanna Reid, 53, said to much laughter: ‘Can we just have a look at Home Alone 2 because, frankly, it is the best picture.
‘Because lots of people watch Home Alone 2 and wonder if this is you.’
Piers hit back: ‘Why does this keep coming around? That is not me. I am not the bag lady in Home Alone 2.’
Claiming to have proof that Piers was telling porkies, she showed a picture of him taken in 2018 in which he was covered in pigeons.

Susanna also said the actress, Brenda, 78, is quite happy with the comparison and is said to find the whole thing hilarious.

Speaking to Ryan Tubridy on The Late Late Show, she produced the famous statuette saying: ‘Look at the state of it! It’s in bits!’
‘I threw that into the swimming pool in Renvyle Hotel in the west of Ireland in Connemara.
‘It was wintertime and there was a group of Japanese tourists around. For some reason I changed my clothes that day and they had in the hotel… They gave me a sort of Hawaiian-looking shirt with two big pockets in it. For some reason, I had a lot of cash on me and nowhere to put it, so I put it into the two pockets.
‘We were all drunk around the pool and they wanted to see the Oscar and I threw the Oscar in the pool and then I thought, “Oh Jesus, I better get it back!”
‘And I jumped in and all the money [fell out] and all the Japanese tourists jumped in to get the money. It was heroic of them, it was amazing. So it has many stories to tell!’
