Piers Morgan Steps Out with Bespoke 'Breaking News' Crutches Designed by Amanda Holden
When broadcaster Piers Morgan suffered a hip injury requiring surgery, he turned to the same mobility aid trusted by over 50,000 others, including a growing list of celebrities on crutches, such as Victoria Beckham, Jonny Bairstow and Amanda Holden.
Piers Morgan's hip replacement surgery, following a fall at a London hotel restaurant has left the British television personality requiring crutches for the next six weeks whilst he recovers. But rather than settling for standard medical equipment, Morgan is using custom designed, bespoke crutches from Cool Crutches that have everyone talking.

Amanda Holden's Creative Touch
Britain's Got Talent judge Amanda Holden, who was among the first celebrities to send well-wishes to Morgan following his accident, collaborated on designing a pair of bespoke crutches featuring a newspaper theme with 'Breaking News' emblazoned across them. Having previously used Cool Crutches following her own injury back in 2019, Amanda credits the brand for supporting her rehab and quickly stepped into action to ensure Morgan was given the support too. The design is a clever nod to Morgan's journalism career and his characteristic sense of humour – the broadcaster himself announced his injury on Instagram with the headline "BREAKING NEWS."

As a previous customer who understands the importance of mobility aids that deliver exceptional engineering to promote fast and effective rehab whilst also reflecting personality and style, Holden helped create crutches that are both functional and conversation-starting.
Why Celebrity Crutches Matter
Morgan's injury comes at the start of 2026, when he needs to maintain his busy schedule hosting Piers Morgan Uncensored. Like many professionals who experience mobility challenges, he requires equipment that:
- Provides proper, medically certified support during recovery
- Reflects personal style and professional image
- Doesn't compromise on comfort or functionality
- Makes a statement about resilience and positivity
The custom newspaper design perfectly captures Morgan's media background while turning a medical necessity into something uniquely his own.

Recovery Timeline for Hip Surgery Patients
According to medical guidance, patients recovering from femoral fractures and hip replacement surgery typically require:
- 6 weeks of crutches use for support and stability
- No long-haul air travel for 12 weeks
- 3-6 months for complete healing
During this extended recovery period, having stylish crutches for recovery that are comfortable, properly fitted and personally meaningful can make a significant difference in both physical recovery and mental wellbeing.
The Celebrity Response
Piers Morgan's Instagram post revealing his injury and custom crutches garnered overwhelming support, with over 243,000 likes and messages from fellow broadcasters including Eamonn Holmes, Jonny Bairstow, Lorraine Kelly, and Camilla Tominey. The attention highlights how even public figures face mobility challenges – and how the right equipment can help them face recovery with confidence.
