Early-life:
Born Piers Stefan Pughe-Morgan in East Sussex in 1965, he has three siblings and was reportedly named after motor-racing driver Piers Courage. He attended Chailey School and went on to study journalism at Harlow College. After a brief stint at Lloyds of London, he landed a job as a reporter on the South London Press. Not long after, Morgan joined the team at The Sun, where he was made editor of the Bizarre column.
Career:
In 1994, Morgan made headlines when he was appointed editor of the News of the World at the age of just 28. He quit after publishing sensational pictures of Earl Spencer's first wife leaving a detox clinic. It was the first of many controversies which would dog the journalist. Morgan then moved to The Daily Mirror, where he tried to move the paper away from its tabloid roots. However, he was sacked in 2004 after publishing fake pictures of Iraqi prisoners being abused by British soldiers. In 2005, Morgan bought newspaper industry paper The Press Gazette, but sold it on again just over a year later. In 2006, he launched First News, a weekly paper for nine to 12-year-olds. Away from the news, the journalist has built a career as a TV presenter, featuring on the series You Can't Fire Me, I'm Famous; Morgan & Platell; and as a judge on both America and Britain's Got Talent. He hosted Piers Morgan Live on CNN between January 2011 and March 2014.
