TV presenter Piers Morgan shared a tweet with the tagline 'Breaking News' as he said he had 'become a father again', thanks to the arrival of two new kittens in his home. The TalkTV presenter who used to be a host on Good Morning Britain said the 10-week-old kittens are 'like their father, adorable'.
The 57-year-old shared a picture over the weekend holding his two new Burmese cats, writing: "BREAKING NEWS: I’ve become a father again 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."
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 @piresrobert7."
The tweet was quickly viewed more than three million times attracting more than 2,500 comments, 15,000 likes and more than 750 retweets.
While many took to Twitter to agree with Piers over how adorable the kittens are, many were also quick to attack his choice of footwear. Piers defended himself, saying they are in fact slippers.
