Piers Morgan’s ex wife left ‘fighting for her life’ after freak accident

Piers Morgan’s ex-wife was involved in a freak accident, which her family feared she would never recover from.

The TV presenter and journalist was married to Marion Shalloe for 17 years from 1991 until 2008, with the pair sharing three sons together, Albert, Stanley, and Spencer.

Their son Spencer, has revealed that months ago, his mother was involved in an ‘accident’ that left her doctors without much hope for her survival.

Sharing the story on social media, Spencer shared images of his mother in the hospital with a caption that read: ‘Seven months ago our mum was involved in a freak accident which left her fighting for her life…’

He revealed that his mother has spent 218 days in hospital after being admitted in mid-December.

‘We were told on more than one occasion that there was little hope if any but against all odds she hung on in there and thanks to the two heroic surgeons in the third pic and countless others at @chelwestft she left hospital today after 218 days on the ward.’

He added that her swift return to full health was considered a ‘miracle’ by some of the staff, considering the severity of the incident.

‘The staff labelled her a minor miracle but they are the miracle workers. My family are eternally grateful for their incredible work. Never give up 💪.’

One image in the carousel showed Marion leaving the hospital on crutches, while another was a video of the doctors and nurses in pink scrubs applauding her as she left the wing.

Marion was a hospital ward nurse when she first married Piers in the early 90s. Her ex-husband has been married to Celia Walden since 2010, with who he shares a daughter named Elise.

Friends and family have been quick to share their support for Marion on the post from her son.

‘The best news ❤️,’ commented Susanna Reid, who worked with Piers on Good Morning Britain on ITV.

‘Sending love and thoughts x,’ said Coronation Street star Claire Sweeney.

Loose Women star Jane Moore commented: ‘She’s a tough bird 👊🏻❤️xx’

Made In Chelsea star Emily Blackwell commented: ‘Wow! This is amazing 🥰’
