Piers Morgan pays £12k to return as Mirror editor

By paulmcnally

Former Daily Mirror editor Piers Morgan has paid £12,000 at a charity auction to win the chance to edit the title again… for one day only.

According to the Observer, Morgan was seen “furiously bidding” at the Ian Botham tribute dinner last week, raising money for Leukaemia Research.

He’ll get to go to the paper’s news conference, have lunch with editor Richard Wallace and pick the front page headline, the paper says.
