Piers Morgan’s son tells him to ‘stay away’ after GMB star admits to missing his kids

Piers Morgan's son Spencer mocked his father after the Good Morning Britain host shared that he misses his kids amid the coronavirus lockdown.

The controversial broadcaster, 55, took to social media on Sunday night to share his worry about the lack of clarity on the new lockdown measures and admitted that he is unsure if the rules mean he can see his older children who no longer live with him.

Piers fumed on Twitter : "I haven't seen two of my sons for 10 weeks. They live 10 minutes away, next to a large common.

"Am I allowed to go and see them, if I stay 2 metres away? The answer appears to be no, yet I can see 1000s of strangers a day in my local park if I stay 2m away. Makes no sense."

Proving that his son Spencer was unable to resist pulling his dad's leg on the social media platform, Spencer jokingly replied: "No, stay away from us", as he re-tweeted his father's message.

Piers returned to his hosting duties on GMB on Monday morning after a week off following worry that he had coronavirus after showing mild symptoms.

But after testing negative for the deadly virus, the former newspaper editor was was back on full form today as he joined Susanna Reid to report on the latest advice from Boris Johnson.

Piers began by telling his co-host: "I feel fine except I feel extremely frustrated by what I watched last night.

"I don't know where it leaves us and I don't understand the sequence of events here."

He went on: "Boris Johnson clears 15 minutes of prime time, Sunday night television to address the nation.

"And you expect when you get that amount of time on a Sunday night at seven o'clock you would get loads of great detail that clears everything up.

"Instead we got a load of his usual flim-flam, his bluster, his bellicose, fist-pumping rhetoric. But when it gets to the detail, I don't know where it leaves us," complained Piers.

On Sunday night Boris addressed the nation and announced a 'conditional plan' to ease lockdown restrictions.

The new advice is to 'stay alert' as Johnson advised those who could not work from home to return to work from Wednesday but avoid public transport.

Unlimited amounts of outdoor exercise were also granted with people being allowed to sunbathe in parks and play sport with members of their own households.

Labour's Sir Keir Starmer said the speech raised 'as many questions as it answered.'
