Piers Stefan Pughe-Morgan (/pɪərz/; Կաղապար:Né O'Meara, born 30 March 1965[1]) is an English broadcaster, journalist, writer, and media personality. He began his career in 1988 at the tabloid The Sun. In 1994, at the age of 29, he was appointed editor of the News of the World by Rupert Murdoch, which made him the youngest editor of a British national newspaper in more than half a century.[2] From 1995, Morgan edited the Daily Mirror, but was fired in 2004.[3] He was the editorial director of First News from 2006 to 2007. In 2014, Morgan became the first editor-at-large of the MailOnline website's US operation.

As a television presenter, Morgan hosted the ITV talk show Piers Morgan's Life Stories (2009–2020), the CNN talk show Piers Morgan Live (2011–2014), and co-presented the ITV Breakfast programme Good Morning Britain (2015–2021) alongside Susanna Reid. He has been a judge on the television talent shows America's Got Talent (2006–2011) and Britain's Got Talent (2007–2010).[4][5][6] In 2008, Morgan won The Celebrity Apprentice US, appearing with future US president Donald Trump.[7][8] He was a presenter for TalkTV (now known as Talk), he hosted the program Piers Morgan Uncensored from 2022 to 2024, before leaving the network and moving the show to YouTube. [9]

Morgan was the editor of the Daily Mirror during the period in which the paper was implicated in the phone hacking scandal. In 2011, Morgan denied having ever hacked a phone and stated that he had not, "to [his] knowledge published any story obtained from the hacking of a phone". The following year, he was criticised in the findings of the Leveson Inquiry by chair Brian Leveson, who stated that comments made in Morgan's testimony about phone hacking were "utterly unpersuasive" and "that he was aware that it was taking place in the press as a whole and that he was sufficiently unembarrassed by what was criminal behaviour that he was prepared to joke about it".[10] The judge in a 2023 court case against Mirror Group Newspapers found truthful evidence that Morgan knew about private phone hacking from a reporter, shared a method of phone hacking with a media professional while being questioned about a reporting scoop, and that Morgan played another's private phone message in the newsroom he had received from another tabloid editor.[11][12]

Morgan's outspoken views and controversial comments on Good Morning Britain have led Ofcom to adjudicate on multiple occasions.[13][14][15] In March 2021, Morgan left the programme with immediate effect, following his criticism of the Oprah with Meghan and Harry interview.[16][17] Ofcom received over 57,000 complaints from viewers,[18] including a complaint from Meghan, Duchess of Sussex, herself;[19] Morgan was subsequently cleared of wrongdoing by Ofcom.[20]

Early life and education

[խմբագրել | խմբագրել կոդը]

Morgan was born in Reigate, Surrey on 30 March 1965, the son of Vincent Eamonn O'Meara, an Irish dentist from County Offaly,[21][22] and Gabrielle Georgina Sybille (née Oliver),[23] an English woman who raised Morgan as a Catholic.[23][24] A few months after his birth, the family moved to Newick, East Sussex.[21] His father died when Morgan was 11 months old; his mother later married Glynne Pughe-Morgan,[25][26] a Welsh pub landlord who later worked in the meat distribution business, and he took his stepfather's surname.[2] He was educated at the independent Cumnor House prep school between the ages of seven and 13, then Chailey School, a comprehensive secondary school in Chailey, followed by Priory School, Lewes, for sixth form.[27] After nine months at Lloyd's of London, Morgan studied journalism at Harlow College,[2] joining the Surrey and South London Newspaper Group in 1985.[28]

Personal life

[խմբագրել | խմբագրել կոդը]

Morgan married Marion Shalloe, a hospital ward sister,[2] in 1991. The couple had three sons, and separated in 2004 before divorcing in 2008.[29][30] In June 2010, he married his second wife, journalist Celia Walden, daughter of the former Conservative MP George Walden in Swinbrook, Oxfordshire.[31] They have a daughter.[32] He lives in Kensington, London and has two other properties in Newick, East Sussex and Hollywood, Los Angeles.[33]

Morgan is a supporter of Premier League football club Arsenal.[34] He was an outspoken critic of former Arsenal manager Arsène Wenger and called for his sacking on many occasions. Speaking in defence of Wenger in 2015, former Arsenal goalkeeper Bob Wilson labelled Morgan an "incredibly pompous individual".[35] When Arsenal midfielder Aaron Ramsey met Morgan on 26 April 2015, Ramsey refused to shake his hand due to the criticism he received from Morgan during the 2012–13 season. Morgan has responded by calling Ramsey 'whatshisname'.[36]

Morgan identified as a supporter of the Conservative Party in a 1994 interview, saying he was "still basically a Tory", but expressed admiration for the recently elected Labour Party leader Tony Blair, saying "he's not radical, speaks well and makes sense".[2] Morgan voted for the Animal Welfare Party in the 2015 general election due to his low opinion of all the main party leaders.[37] He voted against Brexit in the 2016 EU referendum but voted for the Kensington Conservative candidate in the 2019 general election because of Boris Johnson's commitment to honour the result of the referendum.[38] Morgan has also previously voted for the Labour Party.[38]

On 24 July 2021, Morgan said he had developed COVID-19 after the Euro 2020 final, despite being fully vaccinated. He added that a strong fever, violent coughing, chills and sneezing fits left him exhausted and fearing what might come next.[39]

Morgan is of Irish Catholic descent.[40] He has often spoken of his Catholic faith[41] and believes in an afterlife, but does not "go to Confession, probably because it would take [him] too long".[42]
