Piers Morgan has shared a rare picture of his daughter Elise and revealed the eight year old beat him at chess in just four moves.

The Good Morning Britain host, 55, posted a picture on his Instagram page showing the youngster pulling a victorious pose in front of a chess board.

The snap, taken at the star's London home, shows the board in checkmate and Piers admitted his daughter's win was swift and decisive.

He also revealed Elise had been inspired by watching Netflix show The Queen's Gambit, about a young female chess prodigy.

Piers wrote: "I knew letting her watch Queen's Gambit was a mistake.

"She's just beaten me in 4 moves. I will never live this down."

One of his followers asked whether Piers had lost because he'd had a few took many drinks, writing: "Oh dear, after how much wine?

"It's the only excuse otherwise shameful for you or Elise is a genius... I suspect the latter."

Piers then admitted he'd not touched a drop, replying: "Stone cold bloody sober."
