PIERS BUNKERED BY HEAT
PIERS Morgan was left hardly able to breathe or walk after being struck down by heat exhaustion.
The Good Morning Britain presenter, 55, played golf in the blazing sun on Friday and was laid up all weekend.

TELLY star Eamonn Holmes has revealed the anguish his family is going through after his wife Ruth Langsford’s sister took her own life.
Julia Johnson, who had battled depression for years, was found dead aged 62 in June last year.
And Eamonn opened up about the turmoil the suicide of “lovely” Julia has left the family in.
The presenter, 60, said: “It’s just the unanswered questions. I mean, concerned thoughts on Twitter. Am I OK? I’m looking ill. Keith writes, ‘You all right mate? Face bloated, pinhead eyes, faltering voice. Get well soon.’”

I experienced the sudden death of my father and there are a lot of loose ends – things where you wonder, what were your last words?
“What way did you last deal with that person?
“Sudden death is a very, very difficult thing to deal with, and with Julia you know, she was just the most lovely, gentile, kind person.
“I often used to joke to her and days in bed. I basically couldn’t walk, couldn’t breathe. I could barely talk.”
He revealed he still was not fully recovered, despite the rest and drinking plenty of fluids. He added: “I do love the viewers. They don’t hold back.”

“Ruth was very caring, very loving to her and I think there can often be a guilt when you think, ‘Should I have been there? Where was I?’”
Julia was found by her husband Paul at their home in Lingfield, Surrey. Devastated Ruth, 60, was unable to go to work in the week following the tragedy and broke down in tears on air during a This Morning phone-in on anxiety and depression two months later.
Eamonn added: “You can’t press the rewind button and what I would honestly say is that we were always very supportive.
“We were a loving family, Ruth could not have done more for her sister, and I think you know, it takes a lot of getting over that, a lot of getting over.”
