Piers Morgan beams with his sons in sweet family photo

He wants his sons to be like him and speak their minds

A sweet family snap of Piers Morgan and his sons was shown on Loose Women this week, and the lads look a lot like their dad.

The Good Morning Britain host, 53, was pictured alongside Stanley, Spencer and Bertie – aged 21, 25 and 18 respectively – during his appearance on the panel show.

The Loose Women asked Piers if his sons were ever embarrassed of him because of his often controversial comments.

He told them: “Not at all. They are perfectly entitled to disagree with me and they do often vehemently disagree with me. They have all got their father’s looks.

“I encourage them to speak their own minds, argue with me. But if they are going to argue with me over dinner, they better come armed as I am going to take them down.”

Piers then asked: “Why wouldn’t you want your kids to be opinionated?”

Piers had all three of his sons with ex-wife Marion Shalloe. The pair divorced in 2008.

He also has a seven-year-old daughter called Elise with his wife Celia Walden, whom he married in 2010.

Piers’ conversation with the panellists also covered internet trolls and how he deals with abuse online.

He explained that, in his opinion, the way to get at a troll is to “look for a weakness”.

Piers said if a troll “can’t spell something” then he pounces on it “like a piranha”, adding that you have to take them “head on”.

The show also saw him clash with Janet Street Porter after rubbing her up the wrong way with a swipe at her journalism career.
