Piers Morgan’s wife Celia has revealed the couple’s horror as thieves burgled their bedroom as they slept.
The 55-year-old Good Morning Britain presenter’s wife, who is a journalist, wrote what happened for the Daily Telegraph.
In the article she said she woke up on the very last day of their holiday in the South of France to discover their French villa was a complete mess.
Dubbing the cowardly thieves “depraved and despicable” she revealed what they took from the rented property in Côte d’Azur.
The most terrifying part she recalled was that the thieve must have leaned right by her side of the bed.

Celia recalled how she realised the thieves had been in their bedroom – which they were asleep in at the time – when she clocked that money had been stolen from inside her handbag which was next to their bed.
She said the handbag was on a chair right next to her side of the bed, meaning the thief would have been just inches from her.
Celia also said that jewellery had been taken during the burglary.
The police told her that the burglars had left only 15 minutes before she had woken up and left when they heard her snooze the alarm.

Celia said she had woken up at 6:15am on the last day of the holiday after the couple spent the night before packing up their things to return home.
She revealed the moment she realised they had been burgled was when her handbag all over the place and her jewellery box lying empty next to it.
Police said the thieves had only just left as they dashed out of the villa after hearing her wake up.
Celia said: “But then I remembered something that made me feel sick: the up-turned handbag found in the sitting room had originally been on a chair in our bedroom.

“They must have crept in there and stood inches away from us while we slept.”
The thieves made off with the money in her purse but left her credit cards and driver’s licence.
The jewellery they stole with included a ring Piers bought Celia for their fifth wedding anniversary.
She added: “I felt a stomach-plummeting sense of violation at the actions of these depraved and despicable inhuman beings.”
