Piers Morgan's fans go wild for his glamorous lookalike mum in throwback snap

Piers Morgan's fans were gobsmacked at how much he looked like his beautiful mother.

The doting son paid tribute to his mum Gabrielle with a rare throwback photograph on Instagram on Tuesday.

Gushing over her movie star beauty, the former Good Morning Britain star cheekily quipped it's here he gets his handsome looks from.

In the snap, Gabrielle looked stunning with her hair and makeup styled to perfection.

Comments complimenting their similarities flooded the Instagram post commemorating his mum's birthday.

Among the sea of comments, one wrote: "Wow you look so much like her!!"

Piers revealed he dug up the photograph from one of Gabrielle's early dates with Glynne.

It was a treasured black and white photograph from the occasion.

He wrote: "Happy birthday to my fabulous mother. If you’re wondering where I get my absurdly glamorous movie star aesthetic genes from, this is Mum on a date with Dad early in their courtship."

Fans were in disbelief over how similar Piers looked to his beautiful mum.

Others wrote: "You look like more of your beautiful mum."

"Your face is the same shape as hers. Beautiful lady!"

"Wow u and your Mum do look alike xx."

"You actually do look like her, only not as glamorous."

Behind the scenes, Piers has a very close relationship with his parents Gabrielle and Glynne who raised him together.

His birth dad Vincent Eamonn O'Meara tragically died when he was just a baby.

In other news, Piers has been keeping his Instagram well updated after he made his swift departure from Good Morning Britain in March.

His wife Celia jokingly begged for TV bosses to offer him a lucrative deal so he would be out of her hair in the morning.

She told The Sun: “This is the only reason I am sad about him leaving GMB — well, that and the fact I wake up and there he is, staring back at me morning after morning.

“But really, he used to come back and by 9am was absolutely flattened, lying there on the sofa, catatonic, not bothering anyone.

“Unfortunately he’s got all his energy back now. Please, someone, just give him a job!”
