PIERS MORGAN’S LIFE STORIES
ITV, 9pm
ACCORDING to the humble host himself, tonight’s episode features the “most powerful moment ever” in the chat show’s history.
Telling his life story is boxer Chris Eubank, former Middleweight and Super Middleweight Champion of the World, who went on to become one of the most famous and recognisable figures in British pop culture, starring in reality TV and appearing on the likes of I’m A Celebrity, Celebrity
Big Brother and Celebrity Gogglebox.
A bonafide eccentric, Chris is famous for his snazzy suits, crazy cars, wearing a monocle, becoming a US police marshal, and his unique way of talking.
He discusses all of this with Piers, as well as bankruptcy, divorce, his son Christopher’s boxing career and winning his many titles. But it’s when he talks about the 1991 fight which left his rival Michael Watson in a coma and suffering severe physical and mental disabilities that things get seriously emotional and powerful.
