Piers Morgan admits he’s ‘put on weight’ in lockdown after tucking into takeaways and wine
PIERS Morgan has admitted he's put on weight in lockdown after gorging on takeaways and wine.
The Good Morning Britain star, 55, said his wife Celia is a bad influence as she often suggests indulging.

He told co-star Susanna Reid: "I have put on a bit of weight in lockdown."
She joked: "They call it the Covid 10."
Piers continued: "I wait all afternoon, and I get to about 6 o'clock, and my wife goes 'shall we have a Chinese, or get the wine out."
But Celia is managing to stay trim according to Susanna, who added: "Celia has this special ability not to pile on the pounds."
Throughout lockdown Piers has shared some of his extravagant meals and boozy tipples.
Over the weekend, he got stuck into a huge curry order.
Sitting behind a mound of food, he wrote: "About to enjoy a fabulous #BigCurryNightIn courtesy @bombaybrasseriesw7. Support your favourite restaurants and order a takeaway this weekend to help local communities and families whose businesses have been severely impacted by Covid-19"
While last week it was French cuisine, he fancied as he ate cheese and drank fine wine.
He posted: "Just remembered I’m not working tomorrow. So moved urgently to Lockdown Sunday party mode: fine French cheese, fine French claret, a few fine crackers & possibly a fine cigar."
Jack Whitehall sent him a DIY burger kit recently, and Piers had two to himself.
He said: "Haven’t had a burger in 3 months.. so doubled up when @jackwhitehall offered to send me a DIY Burger Kit.
"They were as good as he promised & all in a great cause."
Another shot showed him preparing to eat quails' eggs and rosé.
But it's nothing his pricey Peloton bike won't be able to fix.
