In a post on X, formerly known as Twitter, he wrote: “Breaking news! 1. Tripped on a small step. 2. In a London hotel restaurant. 3. Fractured femur. 4. So badly I needed a 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”<\/p>\n
Piers also shared an X-ray image on Instagram showing the fracture from his fall. In response to his post, numerous celebrity friends rushed to offer their support.<\/p>\n
Former Newsnight presenter Emily Maitlis replied: “Noooo. This is absurd!” accompanied by heart emojis.<\/p>\n
Veteran broadcaster Eamonn Holmes, who has faced his own health struggles following unsuccessful back surgery, commented: “Well, sincere sympathies my friend but I am the expert in this field if you want advice or a visitor!”.<\/p>\n
Meanwhile, former England cricketer Monty Panesar also left a message in the comments, writing: “Wishing you a quick recovery so you can celebrate Arsenal’s success!” Piers was photographed last month reuniting with his former co-host Susanna Reid and his wife Celia at the couple’s annual Christmas party.<\/p>\n

Nearly five years on, the outspoken journalist maintained he stands by his decision to leave GMB, describing the couple’s interview as: “It was one of the most sickening attacks on our Royal Family, a monarchy, that I have ever seen.”<\/p>\n
Insisting he wasn’t going to “grovel”, he continued: “I was not going to grovel and apologise to the people that perpetrated that attack. So I told them you can take your job and shove it where the tiaras don’t shine.”<\/p>\n
Addressing his exit at the time, ITV released a statement saying: “Following discussions with ITV, Piers Morgan has decided now is the time to leave Good Morning Britain. ITV has accepted this decision and has nothing further to add.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Piers Morgan disclosed he’s had surgery after fracturing his femur so severely he needed a hip replacement.
