Piers Morgan: ‘I’ve put her through stress’ GMB host sparks frenzy in rare post with mum
PIERS MORGAN, a presenter on Good Morning Britain, took to Instagram today to wish his mother a happy birthday and joked that he had put her through a lot of "stress" over the years.
Good Morning Britain star Piers Morgan took to social media today to wish his mother Gabrielle a very happy birthday.
The 55-year-old TV presenter sent his followers into a spin with a picture of the pair, who were posing alongside a very famous A-list celebrity.
The outspoken TV host said that he had caused his mother a lot of "stress" over the years but felt he had made up for it by introducing her to a host of famous faces.
In the picture that accompanied the birthday post, the mother and son duo could be seen with Hollywood actor Sean Penn.
Presumably a fan of the Oscar-winning actor, his mum beamed as she posed for a picture in between the pair.
Piers looked smart in a suit and tie, while his mum looked radiant in a cream top and pretty patterned scarf.
Alongside the social media snap, the GMB presenter wrote: "Happy Birthday to my fabulous mother.
"I’ve put her through a lot of stress but to make up for it, I make sure she meets a lot of movie stars."
Instagram users rushed to the comments section to share their thoughts and wished Piers' mum a happy birthday.
Despite there being a movie star in the picture, many fans were more impressed by Gabrielle's youthful appearance, with some saying she could be his sister.
One user said: "Omg she doesn't look old enough to be your mum...she looks great."
Sharing a similar thought, another fan added: "She looks like your sister."
A third social media said: "I hope I look like your mother at her age! She looks fabulous."
"She looks younger than you." a fourth fan cheekily remarked.
