Piers Morgan has hailed the beginnings of a performing career for ‘son number two’ on his Instagram and Twitter accounts.
Dad-of-four Piers congratulated his lad Stanley after watching him make his professional stage debut in north London.
The former newspaper editor, 57, was bursting with pride as he explained to followers what he made of the play.
What did Piers Morgan say about his son?
Attempting to turn theatre critic, Piers bigged up Stanley’s performance to his social media fans.
The former GMB host also shared images showing him with his arm around his son, as well a pic showing Stanley on stage that Piers might have taken from his theatre seat.
Piers wrote alongside the photos: “Congrats Stanley and the cast of The Breach on a fantastic run at Hampstead Theatre.
“Such a fascinating, dark, complex and challenging play which critics either loved or hated (always the mark of a good play!) but they all agreed the acting was superb.
“This was No2 son’s first big professional theatre role since leaving drama school and forgive my paternal pride when I say he absolutely killed it, as did all the hugely talented young actors.”

They chuckled: “I think all the critics loving something is a better sign to be fair.”
