Former ITV Good Morning Britain presenter Piers Morgan sent his fans wild as he shared some emotional family news on Instagram.

Posing with newborn baby Matilda, Piers announced he was a great-uncle as he shared a lovely picture with his goddaughter and niece Gabby in St Tropez.

He posted: "Welcome to the family, Matilda, you adorable little girl! My first meeting with my goddaughter Gabby’s first child, and my parents’ first great-grandchild, on her first holiday.

"She may look a tad underwhelmed by my presence at the moment, but I’ll put it down to the jet-lag."

Fans quickly rushed to the social media post to ask the same thing after reading Piers' caption, as they also shared their congratulations.

One asked: "Granddaughter? She’s gorgeous," as another added: "God Daughter or Granddaughter?!" as someone replied: "It’s his goddaughter’s baby. I’m not sure but she must be related too if it’s parents great grandchild. Confusing."

Another added: "As far as I’m aware Piers isn’t a grandfather yet. Gabby must be his niece not granddaughter."

One social media user chimed in: "Awwwww CONGRATULATIONS She Is Adorable," as another agreed: "Awwww what a cute baby."

Meanwhile, Piers also announced he will be back on Talk TV's YouTube channel in a week with some new content, as one fan asked after his whereabouts.

They said: "Piers, where's your new shows? You need to come back to work bc nothing interesting on YT except for the @PiersUncensored."

He responded: "Back a week tomorrow, Kamran, and we have some great stuff lined up."
