Piers Morgan accused of faking hospital stint

Piers Morgan has been accused of faking his stay in hospital.

The “Good Morning Britain” host, 53, shocked his fans on Friday after he posted a selfie from his hospital bed.

But his followers have noticed Piers is still wearing clothes underneath his gown.

And they weren’t afraid to question him.

One said: “Why has Piers Morgan got a hospital gown on with his own clothes underneath, publicity stunt??”

Piers shared a picture of himself in a hospital bed yesterday without an explanation of his ailment.

He has since claimed he was hospitalized with gastritis and duodenitis – and he blamed vegan sausage rolls.

He told fans the reason behind his stay on Twitter, adding that he was treated privately and will be back at work on Monday.

Writing on the social media platform, he said: “If you really want to know, I was diagnosed with stomach gastritis and duodenitis.

“I blame eating a mouthful of vegan sausage roll, Brexit & Donald Trump.”

Explaining his reasoning, he wrote: “Monday, 6.40am: I eat one mouthful of vegan sausage roll.

“Friday, 11am: hospitalized for gastroscopy on inflamed, exploding innards.

“I’m doing the maths.”

Giving more details about his hospital visit, he posted: “Had a gastroscopy but fortunately, I can’t remember a damn thing about it. Sedatives are my new best friend.”

Doctors told the star he had “unusually large vital organs”, while Piers defended his decision to be sedated after one Twitter user accused him of being a wuss.
