The 60-year-old, who hosts his Piers Morgan Uncensored show on YouTube, said he had fractured his femur after “falling like a sack of spuds” in the incident, which took place inside a London hotel restaurant.
In a post on X, Morgan said he is recovering in hospital and was on crutches for six weeks.
He added: “New year off to a cracking start, I blame (US) president (Donald) Trump.”
The former Good Morning Britain (GMB) presenter also detailed he can’t go on any long-haul flights for 12 weeks.
