Morgan had broken ribs in 'Talent' final
Piers Morgan was nursing three broken ribs during the final of America's Got Talent.

The ex-Mirror editor injured himself when he fell off his Segway unicycle after hitting a curb in Santa Monica, California.

The 42-year-old feared he would not make the series final on Tuesday but managed to take his place on the judging panel alongside Sharon Osbourne and David Hasselhoff.

But the former Baywatch star was low on sympathy after hearing of Morgan's accident, joking: "When I found out how he had his wreck, I said, 'Come on man, at least I wrecked the Harley [Davidson] on the 405 [freeway], going 60 miles an hour!'"

The show was won by Texan ventriloquist Terry Fator.
