Piers Morgan had every reason to celebrate this weekend as he welcomed a new family member.
The British broadcaster, 59, took to Instagram on Monday to share the first photo of Matilda, his goddaughter Gabby's newborn daughter.
"Welcome to the family, Matilda, you adorable little girl!" Piers began in the caption.
"My first meeting with my goddaughter Gabby’s first child, and my parents’ first great-grandchild, on her first holiday. She may look a tad underwhelmed by my presence at the moment, but I’ll put it down to the jet-lag."

At first, fans were left confused at the post as they wondered if the newborn was his first grandchild. "Goddaughter or Granddaughter?!" quizzed one fan, as another wrote: "Granddaughter? She’s gorgeous."
Despite the initial excitement, Piers is yet to become a grandfather for the first time, but is Matilda's great uncle.
