Piers Morgan's followers spot confusing detail as he says he's 'becomes a father again' at 57 while posing for sweet snap

Piers Morgan has jokingly shared that he has 'become a father again' as he took to Instagram with an unusually sweet snap. The former Good Morning Britain star is already a dad-of-four, sharing his boys Spencer, Stanley and Albert with his first wife Marion Shalloe and youngest child, daughter Elsie, with his second wife Celia.

So his latest announcement took fans by surprise. But it wasn't all as it seemed as it appears the 57-year-old has become a 'cat dad'. Piers revealed two new additions to his family to his Instagram followers as he posted a snap of himself to social media with two adorable kittens.

Sharing a snap of him holding the Burmese cats, Piers said: "BREAKING NEWS: I’ve become a father again. Meet Dennis (named after Bergkamp, obviously) and _____ (still working on ‘Thierry’ but meeting resistance)."

The Talk TV host added: "They’re a Burmese brother and sister, 10 weeks old, and like their father, adorable." But it wasn't long before a decision was made and Piers was offering his social media followers and update.

While many suggested he call the new additions 'Harry and Meghan' due to Pier's long-running disdain for the Duke and Duchess of Sussex, he typed in the updated post: "After intensive negotiations, and a suggestion from @jessicalemariepires , the female kitten has been named Bobby after the great @robert_pires07."

But among the first to reply was Piers' eldest son, Spencer, who jokingly said he was 'fuming'. He replied: "There goes more of the inheritance. Fuming." Fans, meanwhile, appeared to be loving Piers showing his softer side with his new pets.

@fariaq66 said: "I thought I couldn’t like you more. Cat dad!!! Keep up the great work Piers." @portia93maria commented: "I knew there was a reason I liked u, can’t beat a man that loves cats!!! They are gorgeous." @mary.mahon.988 posted: "Gorgeous, congratulations 'Dad'."

However, fans were distracted as they spotted Piers' footwear. @thechrispinnock asked: "What have you got on your feet?" @susan_jane61 commented: "Adorable kittens. But do you have your shoes on the wrong feet." @sarahluker74 echoed: "Why are you wearing your shoes in the wrong feet?"

@tommy___b replied: "Your feet are the wrong way round." @lisaoclan shared: "Beautiful cats but why have you got clown shoes on?" But @amy.taylor__ added: "Calm down about the shoes, they are slippers to look like converse. Jesus. Just zoom in you can see they are plush."
