Morgan continued talking about claims that Niemann was getting signals from someone through the remote-controlled sex toy.
“To be clear, on the specific allegation - have you ever used anal beads while playing chess?” Morgan asked.
The 20-year-old replied: "Well, your curiosity is a bit concerning, you know - maybe you’re personally interested, but I can tell you, no.

Or is this a different vibrating sex toy issue… (arguably worse…)?
Yes, it was big news a while back, this has bounced back into the headlines thanks to Piers Morgan’s shit stirring and the killer comeback from Niemann.
