Piers Morgan has issued a major warning to middle-aged men following the first episode of the new Sex And The City reboot And Just Like That.

Chris Noth’s character Mr Big was killed off by a heart attack in shocking scenes after a rigorous workout on his Peloton at the end of the opening chapter, leaving fans across the globe completely devastated.

‘And just like that, Big was dead,’ Sarah Jessica Parker’s Carrie is then heard saying in the voiceover as the episode cuts to credits.

And, just like the rest of us, former Good Morning Britain presenter Piers was troubled by one thing… Carrie Bradshaw taking her sweet time to call for help.

Reacting to the jaw-dropping moment, Piers tweeted: ‘If you’re a middle-aged man watching the first episode of revived Sex in the City with your wife/girlfriend and she doesn’t immediately scream “Why isn’t Carrie calling emergency services?” as she leisurely cuddles Mr Big’s *STILL ALIVE* body… dump her asap,’ he wrote, alongside a photo of Carrie cradling Big.

‘Trust me on this,’ Piers added.

Not worried, are we Piers?

Dr. Suzanne Steinbaum, a cardiologist and a member of Peloton’s Health & Wellness Advisory Council, issued a statement to US Weekly in response to Big’s death.

She took the opportunity to reassure those watching his heart attack death was likely delayed by his usage of the popular Peloton, rather than caused by it.

‘I’m sure SATC fans, like me, are saddened by the news that Mr. Big dies of a heart attack,’ Dr. Suzanne said.

‘Mr. Big lived what many would call an extravagant lifestyle — including cocktails, cigars, and big steaks — and was at serious risk as he had a previous cardiac event.’

She continued: ‘These lifestyle choices and perhaps even his family history, which often is a significant factor, were the likely cause of his death. Riding his Peloton bike may have even helped delay his cardiac event.’

Dr. Suzanne went on to remind fans that ‘more than 80 percent of all cardiac-related deaths are preventable’ through healthier lifestyle changes.

Peloton also released a hilarious new trailer with Big back from the dead and rearing to go for another ride.
