Piers Morgan shared a rare snap of his little brother Rupert Morgan as he celebrated his sibling’s 50th birthday over the weekend.
The former Good Morning Britain host headed to Tunbridge Wells for the family party, as the Morgans hosted a big bash at a swish French restaurant in honour of Rupert hitting the milestone.
The 56-year-old shared a series of pictures on his Instagram Stories, as he poked fun at his little brother’s popularity within the family with a collage of Rupert posing with his nieces and nephews.
“Happy 50th Little Bro. Great party, even if you are still very clearly the favourite uncle,” Piers wrote.
The former editor’s son Spencer also shared a picture from the party, with the 28-year-old uploading a photo of him with his little sister Eloise.
“Countryside sessions with the sis. What a hero,” he captioned the snap, showing him smiling at the camera with his arm around Eloise, who has her thumbs up.
Piers also has an older brother Jeremy, who is two years older than him and a sister Charlotte.
According to The Sun, Piers also treated his family to a speech as they tucked into the French food at Thackeray’s Restaurant, which was the former home of novelist William Makepeace Thackeray.
Last year, the TV star thrilled his social media followers as he shared an old photo of him with a handsome-looking Rupert in 2005.
The snap showed Piers with his rarely seen younger brother, as they celebrated the England cricket team winning The Ashes at The Oval.
In the caption, the former journalist regaled his followers with the story behind the picture, which involved Piers missing out on a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to celebrate with the England cricket team.
“Freddie Flintoff invited us to go drinking with the team at their hotel that night but I was committed to a book signing in Birmingham & felt compelled to honour it,” he explained.
“So Rupert went instead and ended up on the lash with the whole team until 7am. Biggest regret of my life!” he lamented.
But the throwback photo impressed his followers, with one commenting: “Your brother's a bit of alright Piers. Happy birthday to him.”
“He’s gorgeous,” another cheekily added.
It was a busy weekend for Piers, as he was also partying with Joan Collins to celebrate the launch of her new book, along with wife Celia Walden.
“Fabulous party @marksclubmayfair to celebrate the Great Dame @joancollinsdbe ‘s deliciously revelatory new book ‘My Unapologetic Diaries’,” he captioned the picture of him with Joan, Celia and friend Gabriela Peacock.
Piers is still recovering from his battle with Covid, and he shared his journey back to health in a recent post on Instagram.
He shared a photograph of a statue in London, and revealed he’s still struggling with the effects of the virus.
“The Physical Energy statue in Kensington Gardens… where ironically, I walk to most days to try to reestablish my physical energy after 12 weeks of very dreary long covid,” he wrote.
He then told a concerned follower he still had no sense of smell, and “can only taste very spicy or very sweet things”.
“So dinner most nights is a vindaloo washed down with a few pina coladas…” Piers joked.
