A-listers fight to save Gunnersaurus! Holly Willoughby and Jack Whitehall join Piers Morgan to rally support for the 'hero' mascot after he's sacked by Arsenal... and fans raise thousands to stop his 'extinction'

Holly Willoughby and Jack Whitehall have joined the list of celebrities - including Arsenal supporter Piers Morgan - to gather support for Gunnersaurus following his sacking by the club.

The Gunners' loveable mascot was sacked after 27 years of service on transfer deadline day as part of the club's latest Covid-19 financial cuts.

Jerry Quy had played the role of the dinosaur mascot since its establishment in 1993, but was let go a few hours before the north London side announced the signing of Atletico Madrid midfielder Thomas Partey.
