“This picture was taken four months before he died when we popped into Ocean Prime steakhouse in Beverly Hills, somewhere we’d never tried before, and ended up having a 4-hour drinking session with the world’s biggest pop star @arianagrande.”
He continued: “John and I laughed all the way home afterwards about what an insanely unexpected night it had been, but this kind of mad random incident happened in his company all the time. I miss that, and I miss him. Hope you’re having fun up there, Ferret.”

Another said: “Sad for your loss of your friend, keep him with you with memories like this beautiful one and he will stay with you! Stay strong.”
While a third fan wrote: “Such an awful thing to lose such an important person, just treasure your precious memories.”
John Ferriter died on July 25 2019 from complications of pancreatitis.
This comes as the 56-year-old presenter opened up about how covid-19 almost decimated him and left him bed-bound for seven days.
Piers shared details of his covid ordeal and said that he was “flatlined’ in bed for a week with “debilitating fatigue” after catching the virus at Wembley during the Euro 2020 final against Italy.
Luckily Piers had had both of his vaccine jabs – something he believes saved his life.
