Piers Morgan is rushed to hospital.after breaking his hip in a painful fall.
The broadcaster shared the news with fans on Instagram, posting two pictures; one showing him lying in a hospital bed and another displaying an X-ray of his broken hip.
Morgan, 60, explained that he 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 Morgan 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.
Friends and fans flooded the comments section with well-wishes, praising his humour and wishing him a speedy recovery.
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.
