What did he say?

Piers, 55, said: “I miss the spontaneity of being able to say, like that, ‘shall we go to the pub?'”

Spencer, 26, shared a clip of Piers’ comments to Twitter.

When your dad hasn’t seen you in person in nearly three months.

He wrote: “When your dad hasn’t seen you in person in nearly three months… Cheers @piersmorgan.”

Piers replied: “Haha, sorry son, I definitely miss you too, & look forward to seeing you again….. AFTER the pub.”

Meanwhile, Piers chipped in to his sons Spencer and Bertie’s debate on Twitter.

Spencer tweeted: “The fact is the risk Covid-19 poses to healthy people below the age of 30 is absolutely tiny.

“This portion of society needs to get back to work etc soon before the economy reaches a point of no return.”

Bertie, 19, replied: “Fair, but inevitably a blanket approach won’t work.

“A large number of under 30’s live with people who are more vulnerable to the virus.

“Govt cannot take such a complacent blanket approach. Would have to be a more selective approach to minimise transmission.”

Piers replied to his sons: “Two of my sons debating lockdown on Twitter, as they are locked down in the same house….

“Both make reasonable points. There’s no easy answer.”

Piers is also in lockdown with his wife Celia Walden and their daughter Elise, eight.

On Tuesday (April 21), Piers posted funny photos to Instagram as he and Elise tried out filters which distorted their faces.

He captioned the post: “Lockdown lunacy.”
