Piers Morgan let slip his conversation with Sir Keir Starmer after the prime minister sent him a text message on Saturday night.
The Uncensored presenter, 59, was quizzed by politics presenter Laura Kuenssberg if he would like to send birthday wishes to Prince Harry but he declined.
"Out of time to ask you whether or not you wanted to wish Prince Harry a 'Happy Birthday,'" she quizzed.
Piers replied: "I'd rather not bother with that but I would much rather wish Arsenal a win in the north London Derby.
"I can tell you the prime minister has a vested interest. He asked me last night.. he texted me, 'Are you going?'"
