British broadcaster, journalist, writer, and television personality Piers Stefan Pughe-Morgan holds a degree in English literature.
At The Sun, he started his Fleet Street career in 1988.
Rupert Murdoch appointed him editor of the News of the World in 1994 when he was only 29 years old, making him the newspaper’s youngest editor in more than 50 years. Morgan edited the Daily Mirror starting in 1995, but she was fired in 2004. From 2006 to 2007, he served as First News’ editorial director.

Why did Piers Morgan divorce 1st wife Marion Shalloe?
Piers was previously married to Marion Shalloe, with whom he welcomed first-born son Spencer in 1993 – just a year before Piers became the youngest ever editor at News of the World, aged 29.
Marion was a nurse – a far cry from Piers’ showbiz circle – but was certainly used to being in that world.
The couple ended their relationship in 1994, and Piers told the Telegraph that it had nothing to do with the demands of his job or meddling from other parties.
She works as a hospital ward sister, he noted at the time. She assists in saving lives, and like other nurses, she will detest me for stating it.
However, they soon got back together and welcomed a second son, Stanley, in 1997.
Their third child, Albert, was born in 2000 shortly after Marion became pregnant. But not long after an email discussion between Piers and The Sun columnist Marina Hyde, her marriage to Piers started to disintegrate.
