Piers Morgan has shared a festive family portrait - which includes some of the more rarely seen members of his family.
The 58-year-old broadcaster has been married to journalist Celia Walden, 47, since 2010 and prior to this he was married to nurse Marion Shalloe in a marriage that lasted from 1991 until 2008. Together, Piers and Marion welcomed three sons before their union collapsed; with 30-year-old Spencer, 26-year-old Stanley and 23-year-old Albert being the products of that marriage.
After marrying Celia, Piers became a father again welcoming a daughter named Elise who arrived in November 2011. While Piers’s two eldest sons have tip toed into the spotlight behind him - with Spencer becoming something of an online influencer and Stanley carving out a career as an actor - Albert and Elise have stayed largely out of the limelight.
But Piers dragged all his kids together for a festive snap - lining them up in front of a Christmas tree. The TV star flashed a smile and shared the photo on Instagram alongside the caption: “Merry Christmas from the Morgan squad.”

Others were impressed by the Morgan family home, with one follower honing in on a background detail and commenting: “Loving the ‘wine shelf’ behind!”
Christmas is something of an awkward time for Piers - as he tends to become the focus of unwanted online attention. Each Christmas season, film fans take to social media to mock him over his likeness to a character in the festive comedy film Home Alone 2: Lost In New York.
And for the 2023 season, Piers was once again forced to reject speculation that he played the Pigeon Lady in the hit film. In a recent post via X/Twitter, Piers wrote alongside an image of the character: "It's. Not. Me." adding two angry emojis. But his comments only served to rile up social media fans who took fresh aim at him.
One film fan wrote: "Watching Home Alone Lost in New York and forgot Piers Morgan has a role in this film," with a crying emoji. Another went as far as superimposing his face onto the Pigeon Lady and asked Piers: "Are you sure?" And Another fan published a comparison snap of Piers beside Brenda's and wrote: "Uncanny".
Piers has his eldest son to thank for the mockery, as Spencer highlighted the similarity between the two in a social media post in 2018. He joked at the time: “Chilled night watching Home Alone 2… Always forget you’re in it @piersmorgan.”
