Piers Morgan was celebrating in style over the weekend, enjoying a fabulous party to mark his mother’s 80th birthday.
The Piers Morgan Uncensored star threw an epic bash for his whole family, including his three sons Spencer, 30, Stanley, 26, and Albert, 23, whom he shares with ex-wife Marion Shalloe. In amongst the family portraits, eagle-eyed fans spotted a rare sighting of his youngest child Elise, 12, with wife Celia Walden.

“My family loves a good party.. especially when it’s honour of the Matriarch! Happy 80th, Mum… what a fabulous day,” the 59-year-old broadcaster wrote on Instagram.
Unlike her half-brothers, Elise rarely makes an appearance on the former Life Stories host’s Instagram, and last featured on his grid at Christmas.

While they might not always agree with the former Good Morning Britain star’s political views, they enjoy a good family debate – we can only imagine how heated it must get around the dinner table!
Piers previously shared on X (formerly known as Twitter) that he’d disagreed with his son Stanley about tennis star Naomi Osaka’s decision not to do press during the French Open.

“We agreed on some points, vehemently disagreed on others, then shook hands and went for a beer together. This is how democracy should work. Wokies should try it.”
Stanley echoed his sentiment, retweeting the message and commenting: “He’s controversial, he’s abrasive, he’s hated, he’s loved etc etc.

As for Elise, the youngest of the family is doted on by her protective big brothers and dad Piers.
Back in 2021, the presenter shared a sweet birthday message for his little girl live on GMB.
Revealing that Elise’s birthday had been rather sad and lonely due to the coronavirus lockdown, he cheered her up with a loving message that melted fans’ hearts.
