Piers Morgan, a former host of Good Morning Britain, was taken to a hospital.
Susanna Reid has shared an update on the health of her former Good Morning Britain colleague, Piers Morgan, following his emergency hospital admission.
The Uncensored host, 60, disclosed over the weekend that he required surgery and a hip replacement after taking a tumble in London.
He posted a photograph from his hospital bed during his recovery, quipping that his New Year had got off to a “off to a cracking start”.
Piers wrote: “BREAKING NEWS 1. Tripped on small step. 2. In a London hotel restaurant. 3. Fractured femur. 4. So badly I needed new hip. 5. Recovering in hospital. 6. Crutches for 6wks 7. No long-haul for 12 wks. 8. New Year off to a cracking start! 9. I blame Donald Trump.”
He received an outpouring of support from fans, and Susanna has now offered her best wishes, reports Wales Online.
During today’s Good Morning Britain alongside Kate Garraway and Ed Balls, Susanna noted it was “blue Monday”, describing it as “the most miserable day of the year”.
She continued, “Our friend Piers Morgan is recovering well in the hospital, but it was a bad morning.”
“That was the picture he posted on Instagram. He has a new hip. So good luck with your recovery.
“I believe he will be in the hospital for a few days as he recovers,” he said. I made an offer to bring grapes, but he claimed he had enough to start a vineyard, so I was turned down.
She came to the conclusion that there was a stumble in the restaurant and a whole new hip. So, Piers, get well soon.
She concluded by saying, “We hope he gets better quickly, and he’ll be out soon.”
Piers was a familiar face on Good Morning Britain, co-hosting with Susanna until his dramatic exit in 2021 after making contentious comments about Meghan Markle.
Last year, during an appearance on BBC Breakfast, he reflected on his stint presenting the ITV show, admitting there was one element he “hated” when asked how he “managed” the early morning wake-up calls.
He acknowledged, “I hated it, it’s the real truth.” It’s similar to having persistent jet lag, he says.
He continued, “I spent five years getting up and managed to get a 4.30am/5am start by the time I woke up,” but it was brutal. Hats off to you guys because, according to some, morning television is a brutal activity.
“And then you watch two or three hours of live television, which expels all the adrenaline, puts you to sleep, and you leave by midday exhausted. “
When BBC Breakfast host Sally Nugent questioned whether that “drove you mad in the end”, Piers replied: “Yes, I think we all go mad in the end, I think I did go slightly mad, but I’ve always had a slightly mad streak, it just manifested itself through morning television.
“Susanna Reid, who used to be here, we had a wonderful relationship, I miss that, I miss the team, that was great fun, with Susanna and Charlotte Hawkins and all the team.
You know what it’s like to have a family and miss something, but the alarm never rings.
