PIERS Morgan told his son he will go to the pub first before seeing him after the lockdown lifts while on Good Morning Britain.

His eldest child Spencer, 26, shared a video on Twitter of Piers telling Dr Hilary the thing he misses in the coronavirus lockdown is his old country pub.

However, Spencer is living with Piers' youngest son Albert, so shared the video with the caption: "When your dad hasn’t seen you in person in nearly three months... Cheers @piersmorgan"

Piers cheekily addressed his comments on this morning's Good Morning Britain - by doubling down.

The presenter said: "So yesterday, there was a little moment where we were talking about what we are doing after all this..."

It then leads into the clip where Piers explains he misses the country pub.

Co-host Susanna then proclaims: "Everybody else has said 'I miss my parents, I miss my grandparents, you know the people I love'. Piers: 'I miss going to the pub'. "

Piers said: "I did say to him, I'm sorry son, but obviously I miss you and want to see you too... After I've been to the pub."

Piers is father to sons Spencer, Stanley, 22, and Albert, 19, as well as daughter Elise, eight.

Earlier this week, Piers denied that he is ill, insisting that he is only sweating due to the "pressure" of doing his own make-up for Good Morning Britain.

He concerned viewers when he had a sore throat - which he claimed was due to shouting at people.

The presenter appeared flustered as today's show kicked off - but he denied that his demeanour was due to illness.

He explained: "Do you know what, I actually feel quite hot and sweaty.

"It's not a need to go to Dr. Hilary, it's the pressure of doing my own make-up as the clock ticks.

"I start hearing 'two minutes', '90 seconds', 'a minute'..."

His co-host Susanna Reid asked: "Why don't you leave a little bit more time?"

Piers replied: "Because I'm prepping, reading all the papers."

He ignored Susanna as she pointed out that they were all doing that, with Piers repeating: "I've actually developed a slight sweat. It's a pressure sweat."
