Piers Morgan enjoyed a socially-distanced reunion with his eldest son on Wednesday, after spending three months apart due to the UK’s coronavirus lockdown rules.
In an Instagram post, the Good Morning Britain presenter, 55, appeared in great spirits as he caught up with Spencer, 26, after being forced to isolate separately.
Last week, the host joked he’ll be employing two of his kids as a ‘cleaner and an estate agent’ in order to see them, as the Prime Minister announced the nation can now see others from a different household while maintaining a two-metre distance.

The father-and-son duo flashed thumbs up signs as they enjoyed a refreshing walk in the rare sunshine.
‘Nice to see you again son, albeit from 2 metres. #3MonthReunion’, the media personality, who also shares Stanley, 22, and Albert, 19, with ex-wife Marion Shalloe, captioned his post.
Piers initially revealed his plans to reunite with two of his sons earlier this month, after Boris Johnson loosened the UK’s lockdown status.

During a recent episode of Good Morning Britain, the lead anchor told co-host Susanna Reid: ‘I’m going to see both my sons’, to which she replied: ‘What? You’re not allowed to see them at the same time Piers Morgan.’
The outspoken star – who did not specify which of his sons he’ll meet at the time – explained: ‘Separate times, separate days. One son I’ve employed as my cleaner and the other son I’m employing as my part time estate agent.
‘So that way I can see them both in houses. It’s just common sense’, the TV star quipped.

Joke’s on Piers: Injecting some humour into the stressful matter, the journalist’s son joked: ‘No, stay away from us’, when Piers said he was confused over the new lockdown rules
Piers has been spending the nation’s lockdown with his wife Celia Walden and their daughter Elise, eight.
The father-of-four’s mum Gabrielle, 75, has been in self-isolation since March, with the pair forced to spend Mother’s Day apart.
The Prime Minister’s ‘exit plan’ for the COVID-19 lockdown left the nation divided on what the public’s next steps are.
In his pre-recorded speech from Downing Street, the leader of the UK urged those who can’t work from home to go back to their jobs, allowed unlimited outdoor exercise and hinted at schools returning in June and some public venues reopening in July.
Details about when people can see their families and friends were notably sparse, however.
Piers didn’t hold back in sharing he was confused about the new rules, tweeting: ‘I haven’t seen two of my sons for 10 weeks.
‘They live 10 minutes away, next to a large common. Am I allowed to go and see them, if I stay 2 metres away? The answer appears to be no, yet I can see 1000s of strangers a day in my local park if I stay 2m away. Makes no sense.’
Injecting some humour into the stressful matter, the journalist’s son joked: ‘No, stay away from us.’
