Piers Morgan 'becomes a dad again' as he shares adorable photo of new arrivals

Piers Morgan celebrates as he "becomes a father again" after welcoming two new additions to his family.

The presenter, 57, beamed as he held two Burmese kittens - who he has named after football stars.

"BREAKING NEWS: I’ve become a father again," he wrote on social media.

"Meet Dennis (named after Bergkamp, obviously) and _____ (still working on ‘Thierry’ but meeting resistance.) They’re a Burmese brother and sister, 10 weeks old, and like their father, adorable," he added.

Although some people were distracted by his choice of footwear in the snap.

Piers had slid his feet into a bulky pair of slippers designed to look like trainers.

"Possibly the worst footwear I’ve ever seen... they are that bad they are brilliant," wrote one person, referring to Piers' shoes.

Not wanting his followers to get the wrong idea, Piers replied: "Haha.. they’re slippers."

Another mused: "Proud father of the worst shoes ever. Can't even see the cats."

There was a debate within his family over the names for the cats (PA)

Piers later added a cat update when he said: "After intensive negotiations, and a suggestion from @JLemariePires on Instagram, the female kitten has been named Bobby after the great Robert Piers."

Piers' son Spencer joked: "There goes more of the inheritance. Fuming."

Abbey Clancy wrote: "Omg", which she followed with a series of heart emojis.

One fan wrote: "You could call them Harry and Meghan," referencing his open dislike of the couple.

"Just when I thought I could not love Piers more and he goes and gets not one but two cats," another wrote.

Piers is known to have a huge soft spot for his pets, a side of his personality that he showed in 2021 after his parents' dog died.

“RIP Kezzy, 14. My parents’ wonderfully good-natured, intuitive, loyal, empathetic, and lovable dog. She will be greatly missed by all of us.”

As well as the kittens, Piers is father to Spencer, 29, Stanley, 25 and Albert, 21 with his first wife Marion Shalloe.

He also has an 11-year-old daughter Elise with his wife Celia, the daughter of former Conservative MP George Walden.

The couple met during a photoshoot for men's magazine GQ.

When he first met Celia he said that she was "way out of his league" and compared her to Brigitte Bardot.
