URGENT UPDATE: Piers Morgan has been hospitalized following a serious accident at a London hotel restaurant. The 60-year-old presenter confirmed he suffered a fractured femur, necessitating a hip replacement.
The incident occurred earlier today, January 18, 2026, when Morgan tripped on “a small step” while at the restaurant. In a candid post shared on X, he expressed his discomfort, stating he will be on crutches for the next six weeks and unable to travel long-haul for 12 weeks. He humorously remarked, “New year off to a cracking start, I blame (US) president (Donald) Trump.”
Morgan, known for his provocative style, shared a photo from his hospital bed, showcasing his situation to his followers. His fans are eagerly awaiting updates on his recovery, with many expressing their support on social media.
This unexpected incident has sparked widespread discussion, particularly given Morgan’s recent comments about entering politics. Just months ago, he hinted at a desire to run for prime minister, stating, “There has been talk about ‘PM for PM,’ Piers Morgan for prime minister, why not?” His outspoken views on government issues, including the NHS and immigration, have made him a polarizing figure in British media.
Morgan has had a long and illustrious career, starting in journalism at The Sun in the late 1980s before rising to become editor of the News of the World and the Mirror. He later transitioned to broadcasting, hosting popular shows such as Piers Morgan’s Life Stories and Good Morning Britain. His recent venture, Piers Morgan Uncensored, continues to gain traction on YouTube and television.
As Morgan recovers, fans and followers will be watching closely for his next moves, both in his personal life and potential political aspirations. The latest developments in his health and his public statements are sure to keep audiences engaged.
