Piers Morgan enjoys a Hollywood dinner with Gary Lineker

Piers Morgan has been enjoying a night on the town in Hollywood with Gary Lineker.

Morgan is celebrating his 58th birthday and currently on holiday from his TalkTV show Piers Morgan Uncensored.

The controversial broadcaster shared a selfie from the Sunset Tower Hotel with Gary Lineker, Amanda Holden and Bruno Tonioli.

Morgan captioned the image with: "Midnight in Hollywood... and opinions are flying."

Morgan had recently defended Lineker during the later's dispute with the BBC over the tweeting of his political opinions.

After Lineker was suspended from Match of the Day, Morgan posted: "WTF? How pathetically spineless.. I now demand the BBC suspend every presenter who has made public comment about news or current affairs - starting with Sir David Attenborough and Lord Sugar.

"Memo to anyone who now agrees to present MOTD tomorrow: we’ll see you, and we’ll judge you accordingly."

Morgan has also previously called Lineker a "good mate of mine" when defending him over his salary at the BBC where he is the broadcaster's highest paid presenter.

Morgan was previously a judge with Holden on Britain's Got Talent, the show Tonioli recently joined following the departure of David Walliams.

Holden had defended Morgan following his acrimonious exit from ITV when he called Meghan Markle a liar with regards to claims she made about her mental health.

In the week Morgan stormed off a live broadcast of Good Morning Britain, Holden posted on her Instagram Stories a picture of the pair with the caption: "We've both been described as Marmite. I don't always share the same opinions as him. But my goodness he's a good and loyal friend. #always there for each other."

Morgan is expected back on TalkTV after the Easter holidays.
