For shame,” a fourth chimed in.Meanwhile a fifth was impressed with his choice and said: “Keeping it real with the Argos TV stand. Fine choice Piers ????”Piers has lived in the five-bedroom Grade II listed home Kensington townhouse with wife Celia Walden and eight-year-old daughter Elise Morgan since 2009.The former Britain’s Got Talent judge bought the property from his father-in-law George Walden, the former Tory MP, for £4 million ($A 7.4 million).Based on a pretty tree-lined street, Piers’ Georgian home includes many lovely features including French windows that lead onto a private balcony – perfect for alfresco dining.He also owns a £700,000 ($A 1.3 million) pad in Sussex and a £4.2 million ($A 7.8 million) Hollywood mansion.Just days before it was revealed he’s still battling long Covid five months after the virus left him bedbound.He was double jabbed at the time he contracted the illness and previously said the outcome could have been much worse had he not been vaccinated.Piers opened up about his health struggles after UK Sky News Technology Correspondent Rowland Manthorpe, 39, tweeted about his own.Writing about his own long Covid battle, Rowland posted: “Don’t like putting personal things on Twitter, but I’ve just logged on after a while and found a load of DMs asking why I’ve disappeared, which I … … a good question If you haven’t seen me recently it’s because I’ve got a nasty case of long Covid. Eight months and counting :(.”Piers replied: “DM m … … I had same for five months but new meds seem to be cracking it.”In the summer, a month after falling ill, Piers told fans: “A new treat – aside from ongoing tedious fatigue and inability to taste wine, all the coughing’s caused a ‘posterior vitreous detachment’ in my left eye. “I’m now seeing weird ghostly cobwebs swimming around. It really is the virus that keeps on giving.”A posterior vitreous detachment (PVD) is a condition where your vitreous comes away from the retina at the back of your eye.Piers is convinced he was infected during the chaos at Wembley amid England’s heartbreaking defeat to Italy in the Euro 2020 final on July 11.This article originally appeared in The Sun and is republished here with permission
