Note to Piers Morgan, it's probably best to avoid making election predictions from now on.
The Good Morning Britain presenter seemed extremely confident in the run-up to Thursday's referendum about how the voting would pan out — he saw a clear victory for Theresa May's Conservative Party.
Piers was, in fact, so confident that he very publicly predicted that the Conservatives would win an outright majority of seats just one hour before the night's exit polling was released.
"As exit poll looms, I repeat my prediction: Conservatives to win by 90-100 seat majority," he tweeted at 8.52pm on Thursday night.
Then ten o'clock happened and while there was no immediate result, the overwhelming exit polling indicated that not only had the Conservatives fallen short of a 100-seat majority… they would potentially lose power all together in a hung parliament!
As you can probably imagine, a chance to rub the shocking news directly in Piers's face was just too good to pass up for some of Twitter's best and brightest:
Notable among those gloating was Piers's on-off arch-enemy Lord Sugar, who gleefully tweeted the journalist: "You seem to have it wrong Piersy."
To his credit, Piers was actually — dare we say it — humble in defeat in his conciliatory response to Lord Sugar. (Well, aside from a sneaky crack at the end…)
"[I was] Massively wrong, Shuggsy," he wrote, adding: "I'm blaming your attacks on Corbyn. Nobody trusted you."
Piers even went so far as to humbly apologise to Labour leader (and potentially the next Prime Minister) Jeremy Corbyn, tweeting : "Great result for @jeremycorbyn. He ran the best campaign so deserves it. #GE2017 poll."
We could get used to these Piers apologies.
