Like the human equivalent of Marmite, you either love Piers Morgan or you hate him – but either way there’s no escaping him.
Next week, the Good Morning Britain co-host takes a break from terrorising Twitter, to bring back Life Stories, the ITV chat show in which he grills celebs on the truth behind the headlines. Piers has had everyone from Cheryl Tweedy to Michael Barrymore in the hot seat and will return with two special episodes, featuring lockdown hero Sir Captain Tom Moore and the show’s first returning guest, Vinnie Jones.
The pals, who go back years, will discuss the loss of Vin’s beloved wife Tanya to cancer as well as his unexpected (but brilliant) stint on last year’s The X Factor: Celebrity. Meanwhile, Sir Tom will be looking back over his phenomenal achievement of raising more than £32m for the NHS at the height of the pandemic.
Getting the goss from the guys should be a walk in the park for Piers, who lives with wife, writer Celia Walden, 44, and has four children. After all, he’s been a journalist for 35 years and his reinvention from former tabloid editor to polarising TV personality has had people riled up no end – he isn’t afraid to ask the tough questions, no matter who he’s interviewing. President Trump, we’re looking at you.
Here, Piers, 55, tells us all about the new series of Life Stories, his favourite ever guest and the bizarre moment he was offered a record deal…
Are you looking forward to speaking with Vinnie again?
