Piers Morgan's ex wife left ‘fighting for her life' after freak accident
Piers Morgan's ex-wife was involved in a freak accident that left her fighting for her life.
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. More Trending
'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.
Friends and family have been quick to share their support for Marion on the post from her son.

Dame Joan Collins teams up with M&S for an unexpected launch just weeks after cyber attack
Following its cyber attack in April, Marks & Spencer has finally reinstated full online shopping, and just in time for its latest partnership with Dame Joan Collins After hitting pause on all online shopping back in April after an unprecedented cyber attack, Marks & Spencer has been gradually reinstating all of its online shopping to customers. Now, as of July, customers are able to order from the whole website, and it couldn't have come at a better time, as the high street fave has just teamed up with another icon. Partnering with Dame Joan Collins – one of M&S Food's ambassadors – you can now shop a beautiful flower bouquet designed by the Dame herself. The Dame Joan Collins Bouquet with Vase is the second arrangement designed by the actress following the success of her first last year, and features some of her most-loved flowers in a beautiful, timeless bouquet. The Dame Joan Collins Bouquet with Vase (£75) contains a huge variety of white flowers, with 40 different stems including avalanche roses, oriental lilies, freesias, laurel sprigs, and gold eucalyptus stems. Dame Joan Collins said: 'From London to Los Angeles, I always mark special occasions with my favourite flowers – the timeless elegance of white lilies and roses make them the perfect gift.' Thanks to the white, gold and green colour combination, the arrangement looks elegant, full and is definitely a showstopper, making it perfect for a table arrangement, centrepiece, or somewhere prominent like a hall table or coffee table. The flowers arrive in bud, allowing them to bloom in the following days so you get more from your arrangement. The Dame Joan Collins Bouquet with Vase also arrives with the perfect sized vase for the bouquet, so you don't need to hunt around for the right shape or size to display them at their best. Instead they arrive ready to go, so you can enjoy them for longer. You can pick up a similar bouquet at Prestige Flowers, with the Rome arrangement also featuring avalanche roses, calla lilies, lisianthus, thistle and eucalyptus, combining elegant all-white colours with contrasting greenery. The bouquet is priced at £49.99 for a standard bunch, with an additional £5 charge for a medium arrangement or a £10 extra cost for a showstopping large bunch. If you want something seasonal that's guaranteed to bring a little joy to your home, Bloom & Wild's The British Sunflowers Bouquet is currently on sale, down from £42 to £33.60. It contains 16 stems of sunflowers, agapanthus and solidago, and arrives hand tied and delivered directly to your doorstep. The M&S Dame Joan Collins Bouquet with Vase also arrives directly to your doorstep inside a protective ribbon-tied box, with gold and purple tissue paper. All you need to do is trim the steps and arrange them in the included vase with some water and flower food to create a bouquet fit for a Dame.

'Brutal' film based on harrowing true story finally comes to Netflix
A movie about a real-life wrestling family that left its star Zac Efron 'messed up' is about to be released on Netflix. First hitting screens in 2023, The Iron Claw told the story of the Von Erichs, a family of professional wrestlers who were 'cursed' by tragedy. Despite the sons of wrestling company owner Fritz Von Erich achieving great success', the family also faced many struggles. The synopsis for the film teased this of its plot: 'The true story of the inseparable Von Erich brothers, who made history in the intensely competitive world of professional wrestling in the early 1980s. Through tragedy and triumph, under the shadow of their domineering father and coach, the brothers seek larger-than-life immortality on the biggest stage in sports.' Mindhunter star Holt McCallany played the family's patriarch, while Zac Efron played Kevin Von Erich, Jeremy Allen White was Kerry Von Erich, Harris Dickinson was David Von Erich, and Stanley Simons played the youngest son, Mike Von Erich.

Produced on a $15.9million (£11.9million) budget, the film ended up grossing over $45million (£33.7million). To view this video please enable JavaScript, and consider upgrading to a web browser that supports HTML5 video It was a hit with critics and audiences alike, with many praising Efron's performance and the 'brutal' retelling of the grief that enveloped the Von Erich's. 'Zac Efron really gives it his all in this heartbreaking wrestling film about the Von Erich family. The biopic details the complexity of the family,' Screen Rant wrote in its review. 'As a wrenching American heartland saga, The Iron Claw is certainly compelling, and to anyone unfamiliar with the Von Erichs' history, each jolt of fresh anguish delivered to the family will be startling,' The Hollywood Reporter shared. 'It's a messy movie about messy lives, occasionally in ways you wish it wasn't. But The Iron Claw is also a story of redemption… That's partially why Efron's performance is the one that sticks with you,' Rolling Stone added. Meanwhile, viewers called it a 'deeply emotional story about brotherhood and loss', adding you didn't need to be a wrestling fan to enjoy the movie. For fans of the movie – or those yet to have watched – it will soon be added to Netflix, with subscribers able to tune in from August 9. Some may remember photos of the staggering transformation Efron, who found fame as a teenager starring in High School Musical, undertook for this project. He faced a gruelling diet and training schedule, gaining around 15lbs in pure muscle. Speaking to Metro at the time, Durkin was asked whether he felt guilt over, or sympathy for, what his actors were doing to get up to shape. 'I didn't, because I respected what they did but I also left it to them, to go on their own journeys for whatever they wanted to do physically to get into the shape they felt was right for the character,' he said. 'We never talked about getting to a certain size or anything like that, I didn't want to put any sort of framework on [what] they should be hitting – so, they did the work they wanted to do, and obviously, signing up for a role like this, that's a part of it. 'But I appreciated every second of it, and I saw the effort and the hard work, we're all working to get to the same place and the same page.' Efron later revealed he needed to undergo stem cell therapy to treat a back injury he sustained while filming The Iron Claw. Posting about the treatment on Instagram, he shared: 'I fully commit to my roles, which I love.' However, he went on to explain that even after months of physical therapy, his back was still 'messed up' and he had to seek other treatments, which he explained had made a noticeable difference. Hailing from Texas, the family's actual surname was Adkisson, but every member who worked in wrestling took on the ring name Von Erich. Since Fritz made his debut in 1953, 10 members of the family have been professional wrestlers. Between 1952 and 1969, Fritz and his wife Doris had six sons. By the time he died of cancer aged 68 in 1997, five of his sons had predeceased him. The couple's first son – Jack Jr. – died in a freak accident when he was just six years old in 1959. More Trending In subsequent years, David died from enteritis in 1984 at age 25, and Mike, Chris, and Kerry all died by suicide, respectively in 1987 at age 23, 1991 at age 21, and 1993 at age 33. Kevin, Fritz, and Doris' only surviving son retired from wrestling in 1995. Doris died in 2015, with the cause of death never being publicly revealed.

Myleene Klass caught ex-husband cheating on her with a celebrity
To view this video please enable JavaScript, and consider upgrading to a web browser that supports HTML5 video Myleene Klass has revealed that she once caught her husband, former Hear'Say bodyguard Graham Quinn, about to have sex with a celebrity on her birthday. The presenter, 47, was reflecting on her past in an emotional podcast that saw her open up about her previous marriage. The star was married for two years to her Irish bodyguard from her band Hear'Say, initially meeting in 2001, marrying in 2011, and divorcing two years later in 2013. Speaking about their relationship, she revealed that she caught him about to sleep with a 'famous person' while in her own home for her birthday. 'I walked in on him with a famous person on my birthday on a balcony,' she told Paul Brunson on the We Need To Talk podcast. She said that the pair were taking off each other's clothes and immediately tried to claim that it wasn't what it looked like: 'I'm in my house, it's my party. They weren't having sex, but they were unzipping each other. ''It's not what you think'. But I'm like, 'It is what I think.' It's the first thing they both said. When asked how she reacted, she said: 'I kicked everyone out of the party, including his mum and dad. They went back to Ireland and his dad said: 'He doesn't get it from me'. 'I was like 'Ok'. I remember thinking that was quite a weird thing to say.' She said that he later blamed the 'drink'. 'I've made peace with that situation now but for a long time it was very difficult to see their life… Not that I would wish that on a family,' she said. 'I don't know, I feel conflicted. 'But my life literally just broke apart very, very publicly. 'And their life, they've managed to continue building a family brand on it and it felt so difficult for a long time. This is the person I caught him with,' she said without giving any details about the person she caught him with. She said that despite the cheating, she still went through with the wedding. The star admitted that she cried throughout the whole day because she was just devastated. In May 2024, she said on Loose Women that she nearly jilted her ex-husband on her wedding day: 'I was in the bath the night before I got married – which most of us know, didn't end well, in fact [it went] so badly that the priest even offered to annul the wedding. It was that quick!' she said. 'I was in the bath and I was just sobbing because something didn't feel right, I just knew it wasn't right. And my girlfriend, now my girlfriend of 18 years, at the time she just said, 'The car is outside.' Like Thelma and Louise, we could just go.' 'At the time I didn't feel I could go, I had two children, and I had this wedding, you know, we had the cathedral and we had the priest and it was just everything was there.' The pair were granted a quickie divorce in a hearing that allegedly lasted just 100 seconds. She added for 12 years she has raised her children as a single parent, emotionally and financially. Myleene's ex-husband is Graham Quinn, who she met in 2001 when she was still performing in the band Hear'Say. More Trending Graham was a bodyguard for the band and Myleene said that she met him at a 'vulnerable' time in her life and felt he was a 'protector'. On 21 October 2011, Klass and Quinn married, with sixteen people in attendance. Four and a half years since her divorce, the star met Simon Motson, who was introduced to her through a friend. The couple shares a son named Apollo, born in 2019. Got a story?
