The Piers Morgan Uncensored host had to undergo a hip replacement as a result of the incident. His movement will be limited for an estimated 12 weeks — six of which will have him using crutches.
While sharing a “thumbs up” selfie on himself, he joked that the “New Year (was) off to a cracking start!” and “blames Donald Trump” for his condition.
It’s unclear how the injury will affect Morgan’s talk show commitments.
Morgan’s fans and peers sent him some support in the replies on X.
Comedian Dave Smith wrote, “Oh man that sucks. Wishing you a speedy recovery!” and author Carol Roth added, “Wishing you a speedy and easy recovery. For the hip, make sure to ice, elevate and compress regularly (I recommend the Breg machine if you can get your hands on one) and do your physical therapy every day. It really helps recovery.”
Newcastle United Football Club exec Jamie Reuben chimed in to add, “Feel better soon piers.”
