Piers Morgan posts snap of his “two wives”

A thorn between two roses

Piers Morgan has delighted fans with a picture of him posing with his “two wives”.

Of course, the snap was of him with Good Morning Britain co-host Susanna Reid and his actual wife, Celia Walden.

He shared the image on Twitter and Instagram and captioned it: “My two wives, comparing notes on how insufferable I am both professionally & personally.”

Fans quickly joked with the presenter, with one saying: “Haha go have a beer whilst you wait, going to be a while lol.”

And another adding: “But they’re not wearing their medals … only joking!”

While Susanna herself posted on the Instagram version of the snap: “Just the one.”

To which one fan replied: “@susannareid100 you are just so funny! Love watching you.”

And it’s not just Susanna who gives Piers as good as he gets, this week he revealed he’s had a ticking off from his mother over his treatment of fellow GMB presenter Charlotte Hawkins.

Charlotte struggled through the Cha-cha-cha on Strictly Come Dancing, with her dance partner, Brendan Cole – the pair scored a low 12 – and Piers did not hold back in his assessment of her.

“I was horrified,” he said, on Monday’s episode of Good Morning Britain. “I thought you were going to be really good on this.”

He tried to get to the bottom of her performance, asking Charlotte if she was “putting in enough hours of practice?”

Charlotte immediately assured him she was doing the work: “I’m putting in eight hours after every GMB.”

It didn’t seem to be enough for Piers. “You bombed,” he said. “I take an interest because you are representing us. Had you been drinking a little too much – for Dutch Courage?”

But he returned to the Good Morning Britain set on Tuesday suitably chastened by his mother, Gabrielle Pughe-Morgan. “My mother rings me up last night and says ‘Will you stop being so mean to Charlotte?’

“She said ‘I really like Charlotte, she’s a really nice person, and all you’re doing is being mean. It’s coming over really badly and you need to be more supportive to your colleague.'”

As Charlotte expressed her thanks for Gabrielle’s intervention, Susanna Reid wondered aloud why no one ever stepped in to make Piers be nice to her.

The conversation moved to the future – “So apparently I’ve got to be nice to you,” Piers said, “so any encouraging news from the rehearsals?”

Charlotte responded with optimism. “This week – I’m feeling good about this week. I can reveal that we’re doing a Tango, and it’s Top Gun themed, because it’s movie week.”

This news seemed to perk Piers up. “That is going to be fantastic,” he said. “Is it Danger Zone? Now we’re talking!”

Unfortunately, while the dance went okay for Charlotte, her partner Brendan got into a spat with judges Shirley Ballas and Bruno Tonioli and the evening ended on a bit of a sour note for her.

We wonder what Piers will have to say about that in the morning?
