Piers Morgan‘s ex-wife was left fighting for her life with ‘little hope’ after a freak accident – but has now recovered following a ‘minor miracle’.
Mr Morgan was married to Marion Shalloe between 1991 and 2008 and they share three children together – Albert, Stanley, and Spencer.
But their eldest son, Spencer, has now shared the harrowing story behind his mother’s ordeal explaining it began several months ago.
In a post uploaded to Instagram, Ms Shalloe could be seen wearing a green dress standing in the middle of two of her children, Spencer and Bertie, in a hospital ward.
Spencer wrote: ‘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.’
The relieved son continued: ‘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.’
Spencer did not specify what had happened, but shared a number of images taken inside and in front of the hospital.

Beneath Spencer’s post, Good Morning Britain’s Susanna Reid wrote: ‘The best news,’ followed by a heart emoji.
