Piers Morgan hailed Sir Rod Stewart "classy" and a "ledge" as he shared a snap of the rocker posing in a Celtic tracksuit.
The Maggie May singer, 78, was the topic of Morgan's recent Uncensored column in The Sun newspaper and he sent a special snap to the former Good Morning Britain host as a way of thanking him for his kind words.
The broadcaster, 57, describes the Hoops-daft singer as an "incredibly big-hearted and generous guy, who cares passionately about his country" in his latest piece.
To show his appreciation, Rod posed in a full Celtic tracksuit and posed with a copy of the newspaper. Touched by the singer's thoughtfulness, Piers re-shared the snap to Instagram, with the caption: "Very few stars ever say thanks for a nice column about them, even fewer text a pic of themselves holding it with a note of gratitude.
"But then very few stars are as classy as Sir Rod. As my sons would say, what a Ledge."
Fans took to the comments of Piers' post to praise the Do Ya Think I'm Sexy singer. One wrote: "Everybody on the planet loves this guy … met him briefly once and he was an absolute gentleman"
Someone else wrote: "He is a ledge isn't he, seems to get nicer and kinder and more lovely the older he gets. I reckon he does loads for charity that we won't know about. Everyone loves him".
A third chimed in: "Man has made it to his age & everyone loves him. That's saying something about the quality of the guy."
"That’s because Rod is old school and grateful," wrote a fourth while someone else added: "And he is a good old Glasgow Celtic supporter"
In his column, the former Good Morning Britain host touched on Rod's amazing generosity from housing a family of Ukrainian refugees to phoning into Sky News and offering to pay for NHS scans for people who can't afford them.
Piers cheekily noted that while he wasn't surprised to see Rod call in to express his despair at the state of the NHS, he emailed him after to ask him to call into his own show next time.
The TalkTV host called him "Britain’s most genuine, down-to-earth and amusing star" whilst also noting that there is "a lot more to Rod than just a great raspy voice, iconic spiky barnet and wise-cracking sense of humour."
