He went on: "The staff labelled her a minor miracle but they are the miracle workers. My family are eternally grateful for their incredible work. Never give up."

Spencer stopped short of saying what the exact accident had been. In the images, Marion could be seen in a green dress as she stood in between two of her children, Spencer and Bertie, in a hospital ward. In another she stood between doctors.

Spencer also captured the moment his mum left hospital to nurses clapping her as she walked through the ward doors. And another snap showed Marion walking out of hospital main doors while using a crutch and having her son at her side.

The upload was met with a wave of positivity in the comments section. Among those sending their best wishes was Denise Welch, who simply sent five red love heart emojis.

Piers' former Good Morning Britain co-presenter also commented. She wrote: The best news," along with a love heart emoji. And George Lineker, son of former Match of the Day host Gary Lineker, penned: "Buzzing for you all."

Marion and Piers were married between 1991 and 2008. They share sons Albert, Stanley, and Spencer together. Piers later married Celia Walden. The duo welcomed daughter Elise in 2011.

Despite their split, Piers remained fiercely protective of his ex wife. Speaking to the Daily Mail in 2009, he explained their divorce had been a "pretty horrendous experience".

"The day Marion and I got divorced, I said, 'You know what? We can both go away feeling awful about this, but let's never mention it again'," he said.

He also admitted his ex had supported his Good Morning Britain exit. And he added of their good terms: "I don't regret it because these things happen, but I'm pleased that we've stayed good friends, because it's important for your kids.

"I produced three fantastic children with my ex-wife. The best advice I ever got was to speak to them every day - that's when you need your ex to be very accommodating.

"I've spoken to my kids, with just a handful of exceptions, every day in the last nine years."
