Piers Morgan isn’t exactly known for being the shy, retiring type – so a Great Gatsby-themed 50th birthday party seems entirely in character.

Synchronised swimmers, Folies Bergere-style dance troupe, boaters, white suits and more than few celebs joined Morgan at his house on Sunday. Lord Sugar was there (he made a speech), as was Susanna Reid, Charlotte Hawkins, Kate Garraway, Myleene Klass and Amanda Holden.

Morgan snapped Anthony McPartlin of Ant and Dec fame trying to skim a golf ball across the swimming pool.

And of course no prizes for guessing which character Morgan played. Though swap that suit for a bathrobe and he’d look more comfortable in the Playboy mansion.
Now THAT was what I call a party. #50th #Gatsby pic.twitter.com/cFraZhNnXr
