Piers Morgan and his former Britain’s Got Talent co-star Amanda Holden recently reunited in Hollywood as the broadcaster continued celebrating the release of his book, Woke Is Dead
Piers Morgan and Amanda Holden enjoyed a wild reunion.
The former Britain’s Got Talent co-stars have maintained a close friendship since the broadcaster stepped down from his role as a judge on the ITV show in 2010.
The former Good Morning Britain news anchor is currently riding the waves of success following the release of his latest book, Woke Is Dead. An official synopsis for the book states he has delivered a “characteristically combative rebuttal of what he views as ‘woke culture.”
And it appears that Amanda has been helping Piers celebrate the release following the official launch party in America. The pair reunited at Mastro’s Steakhouse in Beverly Hills, and the event appeared to get slightly out of hand.
Taking to Instagram, Piers shared a snap of himself and Amanda at the swanky eatery after they tucked into some food. As Amanda held the book up, she covered her teeth with a tissue, mocking the now-famous Hollywood smile.
The star looked sensational as she wore her signature blonde hair in loose natural waves. Amanda rocked a silk blouse, which she accessorised with pearls around her neck. Meanwhile, Piers struggled to contain his smile as he relaxed, wearing a black shirt with the top buttons undone.
“The Hollywood launch party for Woke Is Dead went off the rails quite quickly – as most parties do when Amanda is involved,” he said. Amanda replied with two laughing emojis under his post, which has been liked over 5,000 times.
“True friends,” said one fan. A second added: “You too always look to have the best time.” Meanwhile, a third went on to comment: “I’m Team Piers Morgan all the way. He says it as it is and, if you don’t like it, change channels.” Many of Piers’ online followers explained that they couldn’t wait to get their hands on a copy of Woke Is Dead.
Piers’ celebration comes after he revealed that one thing “saved” him after an awkward interview with President Donald Trump. Just before the interview, Trump had received a file containing every critical comment he had made about him.
Morgan believes that Nigel Farage had supplied the President with the folder. However, there is nothing to suggest that this was the case. Requiring a swift remedy to salvage the interview, Morgan determined that praise was likely the most prudent approach: “I was sweating at this point, thinking, this interview’s off – how am I going to launch my show? This is a complete disaster.
“Ironically, I started thinking on my feet like I would on Celebrity Apprentice: ‘How do I get out of this? How do I game the moment?’ In the end, I was saved by golf.”
Piers had recently read an interview with South African golfing legend Ernie Els, who had just played a round with the president. Trump had, reportedly, scored a hole-in-one during the game. So Morgan chose to focus on that, rather than any critique of the notoriously sensitive leader’s political history.
Morgan explained: “I said to him, ‘I want to talk about some positive things too.’ And he said, ‘Like what?’ And I said, ‘Your hole in one. Everyone’s talking about it.'” He relayed the details of a recent interview with Ernie Els that he’d read, in which the former World No. 1 stated that Trump’s lucky shot was one of the best he’d ever seen, describing him as “the best presidential golfer he had ever played with”.
Following that, Morgan says: “Trump’s whole demeanour changed immediately. He said, ‘All right, let’s do the interview.’ So I was saved by Ernie.” He hasn’t forgotten Farage’s alleged underhanded move, though, labelling the Reform leader as a “treacherous weasel.” Piers complained: “When he interviewed Trump about three months earlier, I sent him a text saying, ‘Nigel, congratulations on your interview with Donald, great hit.’ And he went, ‘Thank you.’ How did he return the favour?
“He went back to London and decided to screw me and to wreck my interview.”
