Piers Morgan necks £1k bottle of wine at VERY boozy birthday lunch

Piers Morgan was seen necking a £1,000 bottle of wine at a very boozy birthday lunch today.

The Good Morning Britain host, 53, got together with friends for an early celebration as he prepares to turn 54 on Saturday.

Piers and his pals headed to the The Waterside Inn in Bray, Berkshire for a lavish meal by Michelin starred chef Alain Roux.

The group washed it down with plenty of red wine, and Piers snapped a picture of himself holding up a bottle of a rare vintage, which can cost up to £1,000 a bottle.

He added a picture of the table which was covered in glasses full of pricey wine, writing: "Getting messy..."

His Instagram followers flocked to the page to wish him a happy birthday ahead of his big day at the weekend.

Spice Girl Mel B reveals she had sex with bandmate Geri Halliwell

His time off comes after a busy week for the Good Morning Britain host.

On Friday, he hit headlines when Mel B confessed to sex with her Spice Girls bandmate Geri Horner on a taping of his Life Stories show.

The singer told Piers she'd bedded her pal back in the '90s, and she was later forced to admit she'd called Geri afterwards to calm her down and tell her not to worry.

He was back at it again today as it was revealed Piers took a swipe at Meghan Markle in an interview on Australia's Today Show.

Piers branded the Duchess of Sussex a "social climber" and called her out for being "rude" to him.

Piers Morgan brands Meghan Markle a 'piece of work' and has savage warning for Prince Harry

He said: "Although some people really like her and are falling for this act I'm afraid I see a bit of hard-nosed actress.

"She's been using people on her way up to what is now, of course, the top, which is marrying into the royal family."

After revealing that the night that Meghan met Harry was the same night she and Piers had enjoyed a "platonic" drink, Piers complained that he never heard from her again.

He added: "I don't like people that behave like that. It's kind of rude. It showed me that she, I'm afraid, is probably a bit of social climber...

"Good luck to Harry. I hope he knows what he's doing.

"If it all goes wrong don't come try crying to me. Don't say I didn't warn you."
