Piers Morgan's ex wife 'fighting for her life' following freak accident
Piers Morgan 's wife was left fighting for her life following a freak accident. The former couple's son Spencer posted photos from hospital of himself alongside his mum.
Sharing with his followers what happened to his mum, Spencer explained how she had a freak accident several months ago, writes The Mirror.
He wrote on Instagram: "Seven months ago our mum was involved in a freak accident which left her fighting for her life… 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 went on: "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."
However, he didn't explain exactly what happened. In the photos, Marion could be seen in a green dress as she stood in between two of her children, Spencer and Bertie, in a hospital ward. In another she stood between doctors.
Spencer also shared the moment that she left hospital to nurses clapping her as she walked through the ward doors. And another snap showed Marion walking out of hospital main doors while using a crutch and having her son at her side.
Many of Spencer's followers and friends flocked to the comments to send Marion well wishes. Among those sending their best wishes was Denise Welch, who simply sent five red love heart emojis.
Piers' former Good Morning Britain co-presenter Susanna Reid also commented: "The best news," along with a love heart emoji. And George Lineker, son of former Match of the Day host Gary Lineker, penned: "Buzzing for you all."
Marion and Piers were married between 1991 and 2008. They share sons Albert, Stanley, and Spencer together. After they split, Piers went on to marry Celia Walden and they welcomed daughter Elise in 2011.
Despite their split, Piers remained fiercely protective of his ex wife. Speaking to the Daily Mail in 2009, he explained their divorce had been a "pretty horrendous experience".
"The day Marion and I got divorced, I said, 'You know what? We can both go away feeling awful about this, but let's never mention it again'," he said.
He also admitted his ex had supported his Good Morning Britain exit. And he added of their good terms: "I don't regret it because these things happen, but I'm pleased that we've stayed good friends, because it's important for your kids.
"I produced three fantastic children with my ex-wife. The best advice I ever got was to speak to them every day - that's when you need your ex to be very accommodating.
"I've spoken to my kids, with just a handful of exceptions, every day in the last nine years."

US stars Jelly Roll and Shaboozey are headed to Australia for inaugural country music festival Strummingbird
US country music stars Jelly Roll and Shaboozey are headed to Australia later this year, to perform at the inaugural Strummingbird festival. The singers will top the line-up at the three-city country music festival from the team behind the iconic Spilt Milk concerts, kicking off this October. Headlining the festival is Jelly Roll, 40, the beloved Nashville hitmaker whose anthemic songs have earned him four Grammy nominations and a massive global following. Joining him is Shaboozey, 30, the iconic singer behind the smash hit A Bar Song (Tipsy), which topped the ARIA Singles Chart and went 2x Platinum in Australia. The music stars will first take the stage on Saturday, October 25th at Kawana Sports Precinct on the Sunshine Coast. From A-list scandals and red carpet mishaps to exclusive pictures and viral moments, subscribe to the DailyMail's new showbiz newsletter to stay in the loop. They will then perform at Newcastle Foreshore, Newcastle on Saturday, November 1, before finishing up at Claremont Showground in Perth on November 2. They will be joined by a stacked line-up of international and local talent, including Treaty Oak Revival, James Johnston, Kaylee Bell, Matt Hansen, Drew Baldridge and Hot Dub Time Machine. Live Nation shared the exciting announcement on social media: 'Strummingbird have just announced their toe-tapping, hat-tipping 2025 line up!' Pre-sale tickets will be available from Thursday. Tickets will range in price from approximately $170 - $215. Organisers told social media fans about what they could expect when attending: 'The festival runs for over 10 hours. You don't have to come at the very start. 'There will be two musical stages, mechanical bull, barbecue, beverages and a whole lot more to enjoy. We'll release playing times closer to the event.' With a mix of chart-topping headliners, rising country stars, and laidback festival vibes, Strummingbird is set to become Australia's newest must-see music event. The exciting news comes as a welcome surprise in a time when the live music industry in Australia is facing significant challenges. This year has seen a slew of major music festivals axed, including multi-city event Listen Out, R'n'B festival Souled Out and the ever-iconic Splendour in the Grass. It was revealed in January that Splendour in the Grass would not be returning in 2025. Organisers officially confirmed that the beloved Byron Bay music festival would not go ahead for a second year in a row via social media. The 2024 Splendour festival, which was set to feature the likes of Kylie Minogue, G Flip, Tash Sultana, and Fontaines D.C., was axed less than a week after tickets went on sale, with organisers citing 'unexpected events' as the reason behind the last-minute cancellation. There is no guarantee that the festival is slated to return in 2026, however, organisers asked music fans to 'think of it as a breather so we can come back even bigger and better when the time is right.'

Ekin-Su Cülcüloğlu, who has worked with both Ozzy's wife Sharon and son Jack, expressed her sympathies to the bereaved family while on Good Morning Britain on Friday. Ekin-Su, 30, reminisced about her time on Celebrity Big Brother in 2024 with Sharon, where they developed a close bond, reports the Mirror. Currently, Ekin-Su is appearing on Cooking with the Stars alongside Jack, which was recorded prior to Ozzy's death. During her appearance on GMB, presenters Kate Garraway and Adil Ray questioned her about the tragic news. Speaking of Sharon, Ekin-Su commented: "She is such a motherly figure and I think she's just so loving. Honestly, I feel like he was everything to Sharon and the family so for this to happen so tragically I just want Sharon to look after herself." Kate, 58, interjected, remarking on Sharon's appearance: "She looked very vulnerable" leading Ekin-Su to concur: "Very vulnerable!" Kate then added: "We all wanted to hug her." Ekin-Su continued: "Bless her, I'm sending all my love to their family. I mean Jack, such a sweet guy! A loss is always heartbreaking and when it's such a known person and it's such an iconic person that's passed away, it hits us all." Presenter Adil, 51, then remarked: "It must be difficult for them as they have lived such a public life, of course all those reality TV shows that they did, suddenly these moments, these incredibly personal moments, 'we want to see the funeral, we want to feel part of it', but for them I wonder can you come out of that and really grieve on a personal level." Ekin-Su replied: "We are all obviously involved in it but I feel like that is quite private though and I feel like they do need some privacy and some time to grieve privately as well."

Cici also admitted she has "PTSD from the horrific experience". She concluded the post: "Dave will have a very long journey ahead of him if he survives. We both have. But knowing that there are kind hearted people such as you all makes this tremendously difficult journey a little easier. Bless you all. Sending you all much love and light and always."
