Susanna Reid reached out to Piers Morgan during a live segment of Good Morning Britain on January 19, 2026, following his recent hip surgery. Morgan, who was formerly co-hosting the show with Reid, underwent a procedure after breaking his hip due to a fall in a London hotel restaurant.
Morgan shared the details of his injury with fans through social media, posting images from his hospital bed, including an X-ray of the damaged hip. He explained that he fractured the top of his femur after tripping on a small step, which necessitated a full hip replacement. As a result, Morgan faces a recovery period of up to three months, during which he has been advised against long-haul travel.
Reid expressed her concern and well wishes during the broadcast. “Not a great morning for our good friend Piers Morgan,” she commented. “He is recovering well in hospital. He has a new hip, so good luck with your recovery. I think he’s going to be in the hospital for a few days as he recovers.”
During the segment, Reid humorously mentioned her offer to visit Morgan, saying, “I did offer to turn up with grapes, but he says he has enough to open a vineyard, so I was rebuffed.” Her comments elicited laughter from co-hosts Ed Balls and Kate Garraway, contributing to a light-hearted moment amid the seriousness of Morgan’s situation.
Morgan had previously announced his fall on social media, jokingly blaming former U.S. President Donald Trump for his misfortune. “I fell like a sack of spuds,” he remarked about the incident, which he described as an unfortunate start to the New Year.
Many of Morgan’s friends and colleagues shared their support online. Lorraine Kelly, another ITV presenter, commented, “You daft bugger – hope you are OK,” while radio host Nick Ferrari added, “Huge sympathy buddy. You’re no longer just ‘breaking’ big scoops!”
Morgan’s injury has led to a flood of messages from fans and fellow celebrities alike, all wishing him a swift recovery. His hospital stay marks a significant moment in his career, as he navigates this unexpected health challenge.
Since departing from Good Morning Britain in 2021 over controversial remarks regarding Meghan Markle, Morgan has continued to make headlines with his new show, Piers Morgan Uncensored, which airs on Talk TV and streams on YouTube.
Reid’s heartfelt mention of Morgan during the morning show highlights the camaraderie that remains between the two television personalities despite their professional separation. As Morgan focuses on his recovery, both fans and colleagues are rallying around him, hoping for his quick return to the screen.
