Piers Morgan shares rare family snap but fans distracted by 'identical' dad

Piers Morgan shocked Good Morning Britain fans as he shared a picture of his youthful-looking dad.

The outspoken TV host is taking a week-long holiday, admitting it had been a "long old haul" reporting daily on the coronavirus pandemic.

Unable to travel abroad, Piers has been enjoying life in London as he spent last weekend at home.

Yesterday (May 26), he revealed that he should have been in St Tropez celebrating his dad's birthday.

Sharing a picture of himself, his dad and his daughter in the French town, Piers said: "Happy Birthday to my Dad, who looks younger than me every year.

"This pic was taken in St Tropez last year, where we would all have been again this week, doubtless celebrating with a long lunch in Club 55.

"Instead, we’ll have to settle for a Zoom chat later... c’est la nouvelle vie."

But fans were stunned by how well his father looked, with many taking to the comments section.

Lizzie Cundy wrote: "Wow !! He looks like your brother not your Dad! Good genes!"

Clarke said: "He actually does look younger."

Lynne commented: "Your Dad? Wow! He doesn't look old enough. Happy birthday to him."

And Joe said: "No way is that your dad."
