British television personality Piers Morgan, 60, announced Sunday that he has been hospitalized due to a fall that broke his hip.
In a post to Threads, Morgan summed up the sequence of events that led to his injury.
“1. Tripped on a small step. 2. Inside a London hotel restaurant. 3. Fell like a sack of spuds. 4. Fractured neck of femur. 5. So badly I needed a new hip. 6. Recovering in hospital. 7. Crutches for 6 weeks. 8. No long-haul flying for 12 weeks,” he wrote.
Morgan said his 2026 was “off to a cracking start!” and finished the post with a tongue in cheek comment aimed at the president.
“I blame Donald Trump,” he wrote.
No stranger to controversy, Morgan, who was previously a friend to and strong supporter of Trump, has publicly opposed the president since the Jan. 6 insurrection.
“I never thought he was capable of this,” Morgan said in 2021.
“He has played down to the very worst expectations of his worst critics… But I never imagined the person I had known for 15 years would incite a mob to attack the Capitol in America and attack democracy itself. He didn’t just cross a line, he trampled all over that line.”
In the years since, Morgan has called Trump out multiple times on his talk show, “Piers Morgan Uncensored.”
Most recently, the host condemned Trump’s comments about the late Rob Reiner.
After Reiner and his wife Michele were found murdered in their home on Dec. 14, Trump wrote that director had a “massive, unyielding, and incurable affliction with a mind crippling disease known as TRUMP DERANGEMENT SYNDROME.”
Morgan said the president’s comments crossed “every line of basic human decency.”
