Celia Walden can see the funny side of her husband's sudden GMB exit.
Piers Morgan quit ITV's morning show on Tuesday after a blazing row over his coverage of Prince Harry and Meghan Markle's interview with Oprah Winfrey.
Broadcast watchdog Ofcom racked up upwards of 40,000 complaints after Piers cast doubt on a number of claims made during the chat, including that Meghan had struggled with suicidal thoughts.
And following the dramatic end to his six-year GMB stint, wife of ten years Celia shared a comedic skit joking that she gets a shock when she rolls over and sees his face every morning.
GMB's early starts meant Piers crept out of the house in the twilight hours, but now he's left he can afford to sleep in a bit longer.
She shared a parody, created by comedian Alexandra Haddow, in which she stretches in bed and turns over only to gasp at Piers lying beside her.
"Piers Morgan's wife waking up in the morning," Alexandra captioned the short.
"Right on the money," Celia wrote.
Piers addressed his sudden exit yesterday morning.
He confirmed that his split from ITV was "amicable" before adding: "I'm just going to take it easy and see how we go.
"I believe in freedom of speech, I believe in the right to be allowed to have an opinion. If people want to believe Meghan Markle, that's entirely their right.
"I don't believe almost anything that comes out of her mouth and I think the damage she's done to the British monarchy and to the Queen at a time when Prince Philip is lying in hospital is enormous and frankly contemptible.
"If I have to fall on my sword for expressing an honestly held opinion about Meghan Markle and that diatribe of bilge that she came out with in that interview, so be it.
"I think it's fair to say, although the woke crowd will think that they've cancelled me, I think they will be rather disappointed when I re-emerge.
"I would call it a temporary hibernation."
And Susanna Reid said on Wednesday's show: "It is certainly going to be very different [without Piers], but shows go on and so on we go."
