Piers Morgan said he would enroll in Strictly Come Dancing if he could be part of a same-sex couple.
The 55-year-old ridicule the Good Morning Britain co-stars for failing to win the show, saying he would not regularly participate in the BBC One dance competition.
However, he now made a U-turn on his decision and admitted that if he partnered with a man he would enter a bid to lift a shiny ball trophy.
The bomb announcement came as 30-year-old strict pro Giovanni Pernice appeared in the Loose Women on Wednesday.

When asked if he wanted to be part of a same-sex couple, he told Jane Moore, Brenda Edwards, Janet Street-Porter, and Paris Fury: “I want to change.

“I think we are ready for something new that will challenge ourselves too.”
“Of course dancing with a man will be a challenge for me more than anyone because we have to make a choreography that suits both of us. It will be fun to watch with a boy.”
In addition to being Piers the ideal man to dance with, the host Jane said she had been asked to consider the offer to Piers before the interview.

Here’s Piers’ answer to journalist Jane: “I’m ready. I already played a same-sex siege. I played Paso Doble on the dance floor with Bruno. [Tonioli] In my 50s, he says I have great moves.
“I think he calls me a’stylish stallion’ too.
The Italian man replied. “He already has experience dancing. It’s perfect.
“I think seeing Pierce will be interesting because he is a very strong personality and a big fan of his career.
“It will be fun to spend time with him in the studio. He will be able to dance.”
