On an episode of Piers' YouTube show, Uncensored, there was a heated exchange involving Howie Mandel, Esther Krakue, and Liam's friend and former X Factor colleague Katie Waissel, as well as radio personality James Barr.Following the contentious discussion, fans of the late singer expressed their outrage on social media against Piers and Howie.
