Early life
Morgan was born and raised in Dartford, Kent in England as the son of Robert and Susan Morgan. Matt has three siblings: one older sister, Lucy and a younger brother, John, and sister, Sarah. On the BBC Radio 2 show, Matt occasionally refers to his attendance to Dartford Boys Grammar. Morgan met Russell Brand when he was working as an intern on MTV[1]. He first joined with Brand after the presenter told him he had a television show idea which was "good and commissioned", and that Morgan should work on it with him. As Morgan now jokes, neither of those things turned out to be true[2].
