The wife of the former Britain’s Got Talent judge Piers Morgan is four months pregnant, The Mail on Sunday can reveal.
The news comes a year after she tied the knot with flamboyant Morgan, who is also a columnist for The Mail on Sunday’s Live magazine.
The child will be his fourth – he already has three sons from his first marriage – but his first with Celia, 34. The couple married in a quiet ceremony in Oxfordshire last June.
Proud parents-to-be: Piers Morgan and his wife Celia Walden are expecting their first child together. The couple married last June
Morgan, 46, met the daughter of former Conservative MP George Walden on a photoshoot for the men’s magazine GQ.
He flirtatiously claimed she was a Brigitte Bardot lookalike, but at first admitted Ms Walden was ‘way out of my league’.
He proposed on a romantic trip to Paris in 2009 by presenting Ms Walden with a book by her favourite novelist, American John Updike, entitled
Marry Me.
Previously he claimed he was planning to use a video recording he
had prepared of singer Stevie Wonder ordering Ms Walden to accept his proposal.
Piers and his wife Marion Shalloe divorced in 2008 after nearly 20 years together. They have three sons
Morgan did not even invite his fellow Britain’s Got Talent judge Simon Cowell to his wedding.
Asked later why he had not made the music mogul his best man, he explained: ‘I couldn’t trust him to turn up on time.’
Cowell later quipped back: ‘Having met Celia, I have no idea how Piers managed to pull this one off.’
Last year Morgan quit his role on Britain’s Got Talent to replace veteran American talk-show host Larry King on the CNN network.

Piers Morgan Tonight began in January and so far he has interviewed some of America’s biggest stars including Oprah Winfrey and George Clooney.
French-born Ms Walden is a feature writer and columnist for the Daily
Telegraph.
