Piers Morgan looked almost unrecognisable as he shared a photo of himself as an 18-year-old on Instagram.
The Good Morning Britain host, 55, said he found the snap in his ‘archives’ where he stood alongside former England cricketer Geoffrey Boycott.
The TV presenter appeared slender and tall in the photo as he smiled at the camera while holding a notepad and pen.

Alongside the picture, he wrote: ‘Just stumbled across this in my archives… me with the great Geoffrey Boycott when I was an 18yr-old trainee reporter trying to get a scoop. He couldn’t have been more friendly & helpful.’
Several of Piers’ followers commented on the snap including fellow TV host Ant Middleton who wrote: ‘Smart as a guard mate’.
Piers worked for several tabloid newspapers on Fleet Street during the early days of his career before transitioning to television.
He worked for CNN between 2011 and 2014 and also served as a judge on Britain’s Got Talent.

The broadcaster has presented Piers Morgan’s Life Stories on ITV since 2009 and has co-hosted Good Morning Britain since 2015.
It comes after Piers put his faith in wife Celia Walden on Monday evening by reluctantly agreeing to let her cut his hair as they self-quarantine at their London home.
With all hair salons currently closed as Great Britain enters a fourth week of government mandated lockdown in the fight against coronavirus COVID-19, Piers allowed Celia to give him a much-needed trim.
Taking to Instagram, the presenter looked somewhat apprehensive as he sat with a towel covering his shoulders while his wife cheerfully went to work with a pair of scissors.

Captioning the shot, he wrote: ‘The words “Don’t worry, I’ve watched a YouTube video…” do not fill me with confidence.. #HairHorror.’
Sharing the shot with her own Instagram followers, Celia joked that she had an ulterior motive when putting herself forward to cut her husband’s hair.
She wrote: ‘I don’t know what’s funnier: that he believed me when I said I could cut hair – or that I just shaved my initials into the back of his head #homehairdressing #nofoollikeafurryfool.’

The presenter’s haircut came after he hit out at a social media user over a ‘disgusting’ post written about the NHS amid the coronavirus crisis.
Piers took to Twitter on Easter Sunday to comment on a post that read: ‘NHS worship is going to be even more insufferable once this is done than it was before, isn’t it?’
He quoted the post before describing it as the ‘most disgusting tweet of the #coronavirus crisis so far – & the bar was very very low.’

Millions of households across the country have been taking to their doorsteps on Thursday evenings to clap for NHS staff and key workers to thank them for their efforts during the outbreak.
Piers recently changed his social media photo to the NHS logo as well as publicly offering to pay for frontline staff’s parking tickets.
