Piers Morgan was gifted £300 bespoke crutches by his friend Amanda Holden as he got back on his feet after breaking his hip.
The broadcaster, 60, revealed his injury over the weekend as he posted two pictures; one showing him lying in a hospital bed and another displaying an X-ray of his broken hip.
But Piers is officially back home after being discharged from Cromwell Hospital, a private facility in Kensington, on Wednesday.
To celebrate his return home, Piers revealed his former Britain’s Got Talent co-judge Amanda and her husband Chris Hughes had bought him custom made crutches with ‘Breaking News’ written on them.
Sharing a picture with his walking aids, from website Cool Crutches, back at his London home, Piers wrote: ‘Back home. Love my Breaking News @coolcrutches – thanks so much @noholdenback & Chris.
‘Perfect timing as President Trump is making a lot of breaking news in Davos.’

Piers shared a picture of the note sent from Amanda and Chris, which read: ‘Here’s something to help get you back on your feet. All our love, Amanda and Chris xxx.’
During his hospital stay, Piers revealed he had food from the upmarket Soho pub The Devonshire delivered direct to his bed.
Sharing an update from his hospital bed on Wednesday, Piers revealed he had been treated to a lavish meal from the expensive – and near-impossible to get a reservation – The Devonshire.
Piers shared he had feasted on lamb chops from the comfort of his hospital bed after his friend Andrea Catherwood called the restaurant to arrange a meal – delivered from the pub’s landlord Oisín Rogers himself.
The Devonshire charges £28 for three lamb chops, with all sides costing extra at £6-a-pop.
Sharing pictures of his meal, Piers wrote: ‘Lots of friends and family have been incredibly kind and generous during my hospital stay, for which I am incredibly grateful.
‘But how about this.. My lovely mate @andreacatherwoodnews made a call to one our mutual favourite restaurateurs @mcmoop and asked if he might be able to send over some delicious recuperative food from his fabulous @devonshiresoho.. and being Oisin, he not only instantly agreed but he insisted on bringing it over himself on a Lime bike.
‘So as I watched Arsenal’s demolition of Inter Milan last night, I tucked into sensational lamb chops with all the trimmings. Almost as satisfying as my team’s scintillating performance. Thanks Oisin, and Andrea.

‘Can’t wait to be back at the Devonshire as soon as my docs allow me to take the apparently hip-breaking risk of walking through a restaurant again.. !’
Dermot O’Leary commented: ‘FFS. Even when you land on your hip… you land on your feet x.’
Piers fractured the neck of his femur after tripping on a small step inside a London hotel restaurant, with the injury so severe that it required a full hip replacement.
The injury means Piers is facing up to three months of restricted movement, with doctors advising against long-haul travel for at least 12 weeks as he recovers from surgery.
The TV presenter appeared in good spirits despite the ordeal, even ending his post by jokingly blaming Donald Trump for the mishap.
The fall is said to have taken place inside a London hotel restaurant, with Morgan admitting he ‘fell like a sack of spuds’ after misjudging a small step.
The broadcaster, 60, shared the news of his injury with fans on Instagram on Sunday, posting two pictures; one showing him lying in a hospital bed and another displaying an X-ray of his broken hip

Friends and fans flooded the comments section with well-wishes, praising his humour and wishing him a speedy recovery, including from Fred Sirieix who wrote ‘jeez speedy recovery’.
Lorraine Kelly added: ‘You daft bugger – hope you are OK!’
While Eamonn Holmes said: ‘Well, sincere sympathy my friend but I am the expert in this field …. if u want advice or a visitor! Lucozade and Grapes?’

His post is similar to one he made in 2019 when he had to be hospitalised for gastritis and duodenitis, and blamed ‘vegan sausage rolls, Brexit and Donald Trump.’
Gastritis is an inflammation of the stomach while duodenitis is swelling of the duodenum, the first part of the small intestine.

Taking to Twitter back then he said: ‘If you really want to know, I was diagnosed with stomach gastritis and duodenitis.
‘I blame eating a mouthful of vegan sausage roll, Brexit & Donald Trump.’
Explaining his reasoning behind the tweet, he wrote: ‘Monday, 6.40am: I eat one mouthful of vegan sausage roll.
‘Friday, 11am: hospitalised for gastroscopy on inflamed, exploding innards. I’m doing the maths.’
