Piers Morgan is recovering in a London hospital following a serious fall that resulted in a fractured femur and the need for hip replacement surgery. The British journalist shared a photo of himself from the hospital on January 7, 2024, along with a detailed list of events leading to his hospitalization.
According to Morgan’s social media post, the incident occurred when he tripped on a step inside a restaurant. He humorously described the fall, stating he “fell like a sack of spuds.” At 60 years old, Morgan will be on crutches for the next six weeks and is restricted from flying for 12 weeks as he recuperates from the surgery.
In his post, Morgan reflected on the situation with a touch of humor, writing, “New Year off to a cracking start!” He also made light of his relationship with former President Donald Trump, jokingly attributing his misfortune to Trump. The two have had a long-standing, complicated friendship, which often features public banter.
Morgan’s post also included an image of his X-ray, providing a glimpse into the severity of his injury. Just hours prior to his health update, he had taken a jab at Trump, mocking the former president’s recent comments about acquiring Greenland. “Britain should repurchase America,” Morgan quipped, threatening tariffs on the U.S. and its allies if the deal was not considered.
As Morgan begins his recovery, his followers have expressed support and well wishes, flooding social media with messages. His characteristic humor seems intact, even in the face of adversity, as he navigates this unexpected health challenge.
