Piers Morgan reveals morning ritual before GMB

This is why he's always so energetic at 6am!

| Updated:

Have you ever wondered why Piers Morgan is always super pumped on Good Morning Britain at 6am?

Well, it’s because he has a very specific playlist he listens to every morning before heading to work.

Piers, 53, has revealed he listens to 50 Cent’s In Da Club in the shower to get him ready to “chew up politicians” on the breakfast programme.

Piers made the confession during a chat with Chris Tarrant on his new interview series on Love Sport.

According to The Sun, he said: “In Da Club by 50 Cent is my rabble rousing song.”

“It is the one where I get up in the morning at some ungodly hour like 4.40 or something for GMB,” he continued. “It’s the thing that I play to get me going.”

But Piers said his wife Celia Walden isn’t a fan of his early-morning singing in the shower.

“I get in the shower and sing it, which my wife’s not happy about but the family understand that I need it to chew up politicians.”

Earlier this month, journalist and novelist Celia joked about how inconsiderate Piers is when he gets up at 3am to head to work.

She said: “He puts his shoes on before he puts anything else on and then he tap dances around the house before finally slamming the door so hard that sometimes the letterbox falls off.

“But apart from that, he’s very discreet.”

It seems Piers’ has been a fan of 50 Cent’s tracks for quite a while.

Back in 2011, the rapper appeared on Piers’s CNN show, Piers Morgan Live, and Piers revealed he listened to In Da Club while working out.

Piers said: “I work out to that song. Literally, it’s on my iPod. It’s the top of my gym collection. And it never fails to get me going.

“It’s one of the great workout songs ever.”

Piers has been the face of Good Morning Britain since 2015 alongside his co-host Susanna Reid.

And, it’s safe to say, the duo have definitely proven to be popular with viewers.

On Wednesday’s show, Piers’ fans were left gutted after Susanna revealed she would be hosting the show with Charlotte Hawkins because Piers had taken the day off work to go to a golf tournament.

Piers took part in the charity golf tournament with golfer Ernie Els, cricketer Kevin Pietersen and his rival BBC Breakfast presenter Dan Walker.

On Wednesday evening, Piers revealed his team came 3rd.
