Piers Morgan says he’s better friends with President Donald Trump than Nigel Farage
- Says it will be 'quite a moment' if he makes the former UKIP leader cry on his upcoming Life Stories interview
- Reveals the President's handwritten note to him to congratulate him on his Good Morning Britain job
Piers Morgan has been a supporter of President Donald Trump since the billionaire crowned him the winner of The Celebrity Apprentice in the US back in 2008.
And now, as he launches his latest series of Life Stories, the telly presenter has revealed his special ongoing relationship with Trump in an exclusive interview with The Sun's TV Magazine, out this Saturday.
“Farage thinks he has a better relationship with Trump than I do, but Trump only follows one Brit on Twitter and it ain’t Farage, it’s Morgan,” boasts Piers, adding that we might well see the former UKIP leader cry during his Life Stories interview.
“I don’t ever look to get tears out of people. But it would be quite a moment if Nigel Farage got emotional on television because we have never seen that side of him.
“I wasn’t p**sed off that Nigel beat me to meeting Trump after the election because Trump only gave two UK interviews during his campaign, and they were both to me on Good Morning Britain.
“Trump is a good friend. I have interviewed him more than 30 times and I have spoken to him on the phone every three or four weeks for years.
"When I have had tough times, he has called me and we talk about personal stuff.
"Even when I left [US news channel] CNN and had no immediate way of helping him in terms of media exposure in America, he stayed in touch.
"When I get a new job, like on GMB, a handwritten note from Donald Trump arrives. If you’re loyal and respectful to him, he will be incredibly loyal and incredibly respectful back."
