Piers Morgan: GMB host addresses wife’s ‘rare apology’ after home mishap

Piers Morgan, 55, recalled receiving a “rare apology” from his wife Celia after a simple mistake led to a minor flood in their west London townhouse where they live with their children. But he put the lapse in memory down to her mind being elsewhere amid the current madness.

This was such an unusual memory failing on her part that she felt compelled to issue a rare apology: ‘So sorry, I’m clearly losing my mind amid all this madness’

In his MailOnline column, the Good Morning Britain host created a sort of weekly coronavirus diary, where he listed his highlights of each day that day from Sunday April 5 – Tuesday April 14.

On Wednesday April 8, he revealed that he and his family were startled while watching telly after the ceiling started leaking.

“Last night, I was sitting watching TV when water suddenly began pouring through the ceiling,” he wrote.

“It turned out that my wife Celia had run a bath and forgotten about it.”

Noting it was quite unlike his wife to forget such a thing, he put it down to the craziness that’s befallen the world at this current time.

“This was such an unusual memory failing on her part that she felt compelled to issue a rare apology: ‘So sorry, I’m clearly losing my mind amid all this madness.’”

“‘Don’t worry,’ I chuckled, as we mopped up. ‘I’ll hold things together for both of us.’”

But that didn’t go to plan as the morning after Piers confessed he had forgotten to give his face a quick shave before heading off to the ITV studios, admitting “we’re all going nuts”.

“This morning, I was about to walk out on to the GMB studio floor at 5.55am when I looked in the mirror and, to my horror, realised I’d completely forgotten to shave when I got up,” he admitted, exasperated.

And, due to the ongoing coronavirus pandemic and the social distancing rules that have been implemented to try and tackle the spread, TV presenters across the board have found themselves doing their own hair and make-up.

He continued: “Cue a frantic search of the deserted make-up room that finally unearthed a blunt electric razor, just in time for me to give it a quick rake across my face, then run on set, panting like a thirsty labrador.”

And while we all wish that life would return to normal, the outspoken presenter revealed where one would find him after the lockdown is lifted.

Referring to a discussion he had had with co-host Susanna Reid and temporary co-star Lorraine Kelly, who features on GMB at 9am due to ITV cutting her show while all this is going on, the general consensus all around is for life as we knew it to make a quick comeback.

“It’s funny how it’s not life’s luxuries we miss most, but the simplest of pleasures,” he thought.

And while many might have their sights set on luxury holidays abroad when all this is over and we’re finally allowed to travel again, Piers revealed he’ll avoid jetting off to his numerous holiday homes oversees.

“When we do return to any kind of ‘normality’, I wouldn’t jet off to any of my preferred glamour haunts like Beverly Hills, Antigua or St Tropez.

“Nope. I’d just jump in my car, head down to Newick, rendezvous with my cricket club mates at the Royal Oak pub, drink at least 12 pints of Harvey’s best bitter, then stumble joyfully to the next-door tandoori restaurant for a chicken tikka masala.

“That’s what freedom would taste like to me.”

It can’t come soon enough Piers!

Good Morning Britain continues weekdays at 6am on ITV.
