Piers Morgan Suffers Brutal Accident, Wife Beats Him While He’s Down

English broadcaster Piers Morgan tripped on a step earlier in January, breaking his femur. Morgan’s wife, Celia Walden, seems fairly fed up with the whole ordeal. 

“Caring for my invalid husband Piers is the biggest test of our wedding vows,” reads the headline of Walden’s article for The Telegraph, published Tuesday. 

“As challenging as the aftermath of accidents are, they don’t tend to be quite as bad as we think they’ll be in the moment of diagnosis. This, however? So much worse. Certainly the biggest test of The Vows we’ve had to endure so far (and for anyone out there with a big hole where their sense of humour should be, yes, I do realise how lucky we are),” writes Walden.

She continues: “I signed up to ‘in sickness and in health’, but there was nothing in the small print about ‘shower stools’, and once I’d assembled the most hideous piece of furniture in existence, I sent Piers a picture of it captioned: ‘This is what the end of a marriage looks like’, followed by a laughing emoji. His reply came seconds later: ‘WAY too soon.’”

This reads less like lighthearted self-deprecation and more like the actual end of a marriage.

“I had wanted to be a selfless wife … and an endlessly tolerant nurse, but as the days have worn on and Piers’s snappiness has increased, my patience has worn thin … The portion sizes may have been a little reduced, the carbs eliminated and the ‘treats’ withheld as I have morphed from Florence Nightingale into Nurse Ratched. And we’ll get through this, of course we will, but I’ll be honest with you: right now, I’m one 4am fallen crutch away from Kathy Bates in Misery,” Walden concludes.

Walden, evidently, has enough self-awareness to recognize her bedside manner has taken a turn for the worse. She lacks the self-awareness to refrain from publishing an article publicly humiliating her husband. Or maybe she just doesn’t care. 

Walden posted a photo in bed with actor Rupert Everett in February 2023. 

“In bed with Rupert Everett. And let me just say this: the man has good pillow talk,” Walden said, teasing an interview with Everett. 

Walden described her early courtship with Morgan in an interview with The Sun.

Morgan eventually “declared his real motivations and said, ‘The thing is, you tick every single one of my boxes.’”

“And I said, ‘Well, that’s weird because you don’t tick any of mine’. And now look at me …” Walden then gave a “resigned sigh,” according to The Sun. 

Walden says Morgan pursued her in “the most bizarre way possible,” sending odd gifts to her office.

“Basically, it was all just to beat me into a corner. I kept insisting it was not going to happen but I found him quite amusing — and in the end I just got very tired and worn down, which is what they all hope for, isn’t it? So it was just easier to go with it.”

“Being married to Piers is ­basically one very long eye roll,” Walden added.

Walden revealed she was “sad” about Morgan’s then-recent departure from Good Morning Britain because she “wake[s] up and there he is, staring back at me morning after morning. But really, he used to come back and by 9am was absolutely flattened, lying there on the sofa, catatonic, not bothering anyone. Unfortunately he’s got all his energy back now. Please, someone, just give him a job!” 

Walden has proved herself a more embarrassing wife than even Hilaria Baldwin who, to her credit, took her husband’s last name, and supported him during his involuntary manslaughter trial.
