Piers Morgan fans can’t wait to see Life Stories return
Fans were similarly impressed – and commented about how excited they are to watch Sir Tom’s interview.
“Can’t wait to see it Piers, lovely man,” remarked one excited viewer.
“His stories are going to be amazing,” predicted another admirer.
And a third person chipped in: “Captain Tom is my my hero. Will definitely watch this!”
It is also believed that Piers’ personal touch in helping publicise Sir Tom’s efforts may have helped get him on board for the special show.
A TV insider reflected to The Sun: “Like the rest of the nation, Piers was in awe of Sir Tom’s fundraising. The campaign really took off after Tom appeared on Good Morning Britain, so Piers feels great pride in what Tom achieved.
“In the dark days of lockdown, it was everyday heroes, not celebs, who brought joy to the nation.
“So while it’s normally scandalous figures who make the best episodes on his show, Piers knew Tom’s extraordinary, inspiring story would be a big draw.”
Piers Morgan’s Life Stories returns for a 17th series with Vinnie Jones on ITV tonight – Saturday, September 5 – at 1opm.
