Jeremy Kyle and Rachel Johnson embrace at Piers Morgan's boozy Christmas party
Jeremy Kyle and Rachel Johnson were pictured embracing after leaving Piers Morgan's Christmas bash on Friday night.
The controversial ITV chat show host and former Sky News journalist attended Morgan's star-studded party held at his favourite pub in Kensington.
The famous faces enjoyed an evening at the Scarsdale Tavern with the host himself, Tom Parker-Bowels, Gary Lineker, and Ant Middleton. They had an eventful evening, drinking plenty of champagne and wine. According to an onlooker, Jeremy and Rachel were seen engaging in deep conversation.
Outside of the venue, Kyle, 58, dressed in a plain black jacket, white shirt, and jeans, was pictured with his arms around Johnson, 58, who was wearing a long orange and green camouflage jacket, a black top and trousers and boots. The showbiz pair appeared to be very close and hugged several times.

In September, former ITV host Jeremy revealed his wife is pregnant with his sixth child. At the time, he shared the happy news that he and his wife Victoria, 39, are expecting a baby girl. The pair are expecting a daughter due in early 2024, with Jeremy saying they're both "over the moon."
Speaking to The Sun, Jeremy said: "Yes, baby number six is incoming, I’m catching BoJo up, to be honest! Vic says I need to set up a side business by bottling it because I’m 58 and I’ve only got one testicle, but everyone knows that anyway. It’s a baby girl, she’s due early next year, and we’re over the moon as our family is complete."
In October, the controversial TV presenter launched his new show on TalkTV with former Coronation Street actress Nicola Thorp. The programme marked his return to mainstream TV after he was dropped by ITV in May 2019 after a participant died following an appearance on the show. Steve Dymond was found dead after failing a lie-detector test on the long-running daytime programme, prompting the show to be taken off air.
Just two months before, it had been reported the presenter had moved out of his £3million Windsor home as removal vans were spotted at the property. Jeremy had lived in the property since the breakdown of his marriage with his ex-wife Carla Germaine in 2015.
