Piers Morgan Hospitalized with Broken Hip After He ‘Tripped on a Small Step,’ Shares Selfie from His Hospital Bed

Piers Morgan has broken his hip.

The controversial British broadcaster, 60, shared that he broke the bone in a Jan. 18 Instagram post, revealing that the injury occurred after he “tripped on a small step.”

Breaking down exactly how the hip fracture came to be, Morgan wrote alongside a hospital bed selfie, “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.”

He continued, “6. Recovering in hospital. 7. Crutches for 6 weeks. 8. No long-haul flying for 12 weeks. 9. New Year off to a cracking start! 10. I blame Donald Trump.” (Morgan and the president, 79, have a tumultuous relationship, dating back to the late 2000s, when the journalist appeared on Trump’s Celebrity Apprentice.)
