short biography

Pierce Morgan was born in 1965. His father died when Pierce was still very young. Mother married the second time, and the boy decided to take the stepfather's surname. Since childhood, the hero of our article was fond of journalism, so I decided to get my education at Harlow College. After graduation Morgan immediately went to work. He started from the reporter's place in South London News. There he did not work long, as he was soon noticed by the agency The Sun.

It was in this company that Pierce found his first truly large post. For a long time he headed the section of show business and was his editor. 1994 became significant for a young man, as he was attracted by Rupert Murdoch. He identified Morgan as editor in the News of the World newspaper. Over the past half century, Pierce became the youngest of editors. Already at the age of 28 he was, we might say, at the head of a national newspaper.

Success and glory

Glory to Morgan came pretty quickly, although the way the famous TV host to her was somewhat scandalous. His popularity was due to the pressure and categorical denial of any rights to conceal the secrets of his personal life, in any case, regarding the stars of show business. His point of view, he argued that celebrities must understand from the beginning of his career, that fame, as a medal, has two sides.

As a result, Pierce Morgan still decided to leave his post in the News of the World, although against the will of Rupert Murdoch. He moved to work at the Daily Mirror.

Personal life

In 1991, he proposed Marion Shalloe. Their marriage lasted for 17 years. During this period, Morgan became the father of three children. In 2008, the couple decided to divorce. At the moment Pierce is painted and lives with journalist Celia Walden. She is the daughter of a former Conservative and member of the US Parliament George Walden. A wonderful pair proved to be Celia Walden and Pierce Morgan. The personal life of the TV presenter does not spark off with saturation, compared to other famous personalities.

In 2002, the Daily Mirror publishing house decided to make some changes to its publishing style. They began to print less cheap gossip and imaginary sensations from the universe of show business. But, despite this move, the print runs still continued to fall precipitously. Because of one unpleasant situation, Pierce Morgan was fired from the newspaper in 2004. He approved the publication of photographs, which depicted the mockery of soldiers of the Lancashire Royal Regiment over prisoners of war from Iraq. Subsequently, these pictures were declared a fiction, and the newspaper's management apologized.

Conflict with Jeremy Clarkson

But this is not the only sensational story of a journalist with compromising photographs. Another conflict, in which Pierce Morgan and Jeremy Clarkson took part , flared up for the same reason. The incident occurred in 2004 at the ceremony of the British Press Awards. Then Morgan published a defamatory photo of ex-leading "Top Gear" program of Mr. Clarkson with a certain lady who was not his lawful wife. Because of this case, Pierce and Jeremy did not communicate for ten years. But recently they reconciled, "having buried an ax of war" for a beer in a pub.

In 2006, Pierce Morgan decided to create a newspaper called First News, which is aimed at a children's audience of 7-14 years. Morgan assured that such a publication is the first in Britain, but it is not. Newspapers of similar content were already published in the country in the early 2000s. Pierce is at the post of editor of the publication today. He is a talented leader with extensive experience in print publications.

Morgan is a celebrity and on television. He takes part in the programs, stands as a judge on the show, and also takes the lead role. Pierce joined the jury of the television program Britain's Got Talent, and also was a judge on the American version of this show. His oratorical talent is highly appreciated by channel owners.
