Piers Morgan is a lifelong Arsenal fan so you can only imagine how he must have been feeling watching north London rivals Tottenham stun Ajax to reach their first ever Champions League final.
Spurs trailed 2-0 on the night and 3-0 on aggregate after goals from Matthijs De Ligt and Hakim Ziyech put the Dutch side in control at the Johan Cryuff ArenA, much to the delight of the Good Morning Britain host.

However, a miraculous fightback, led by Lucas Moura, was completed deep into added time when the Brazilian slotted home his hat-trick and seal an away goals victory, sparking amazing scenes in Amsterdam.

Morgan went through the range of emotions over the course of 90 minutes and his mood was clear for all to see, as he documented his ‘pain’ on social media.
He even managed to swallow his pride and phoned his dad, who happens to be a massive Spurs fan.
Spurs will meet Liverpool, who performed their own heroics to see off Barcelona 4-0 on Tuesday, in Madrid on June 1 and Morgan will be in the corner of Jurgen Klopp’s side, especially as he has a £10,000 bet riding on them to win with Lord Sugar, with the money going to Great Ormond Street Hospital.

The day had begun with Morgan experiencing the simulated pain of childbirth on live TV and then had £650 worth of golf clubs nicked from his car.
