Spencer Morgan, the eldest son of broadcaster Piers Morgan, has disclosed that his father threatened to cut him out of his will if he ever appeared on a reality TV show. Spencer, a sports journalist, revealed that he has been approached by numerous reality programmes but turned them down due to his father's ultimatum.
In an interview with The Sun, Spencer said: 'I've been asked for the last few years, but Dad said if I do any reality TV he will cut me out of the will. It's always the deal.' He added that he had been approached for shows such as SAS: Who Dares Wins and Celebs Go Dating, but had declined all offers, including multiple approaches from Love Island.
Spencer, 30, is the eldest of Piers Morgan's three sons from his first marriage to Marion Shalloe. Despite his father's warning, Piers himself has appeared on reality television, winning the US version of The Apprentice in 2008 and serving as a judge on America's Got Talent and Britain's Got Talent.
Piers Morgan has been vocal about his disdain for reality TV, particularly Love Island, which he has described as being for 'dim-wits'. In 2018, he clashed with former Love Island contestant Rosie Williams on Good Morning Britain, criticising her for leaving her law career to appear on the show.
Spencer, who has a girlfriend, said that he has never been asked to appear on I'm A Celebrity...Get Me Out Of Here!, the only reality show his father might consider. Piers has previously said his own parents would disown him if he ever joined the jungle-based programme.
