Piers Morgan is leaving good morning Britain after comments he made on the programme this morning I watched it and he was very rude I for one won’t be sorry to see him go I hated the way he always talked over the guests

Best news in ages!

Is he really leaving or did he just throw his toys out of the pram?

Good

He is so obsessed with hate for Meghan

He met her many moons ago but she didn’t include him in her circle

He thought he would get a wedding invite and access to the inner circle but it didn’t happen and he was so miffed he turned it into hate

His rants bordered on embarrassing

The fact he had finally been challenged is great and seems he has retreated with his tail between his legs

I found him embarrassing bordering on just plain nasty

I don't know the why's and what for's but it seems to me that he met someone that didn't agree with him or spoke out against him on live tv.

A colleague on GMTV challenged him regarding his nasty comments and he flounced off set for ten minutes.
Ofcom had 41,000 complaints against him from viewers.
Allegedly.

His vendetta against Meghan seems like sour grapes.

It's seems Piers Morgan can dish it out but can't take it. The presenter Alex Beresford told him a couple of home truths and he didn't like it and left.
There were also thousand of complaints about some of the comments he made about Megan regarding her mental health. The charity Mind raised a complaint about him as well.

I can now watch the programme again on the days he used to be on.
The way he was talking to some American presenters it would seem he has direct knowledge and is privvy to everything that is said by the royals . Big head and loud mouth.

I watched it this morning and it was so embarrassing and he also said that he did not believe a word Meghan said such a bully I think he went before he was pushed. I felt sorry for Alex Beredford and dr Hilary

He will probably end up on another channel and carrying on where he left off, I hope not though, I don't know how he has got away with his comments all this time.

I've never watched Good Morning Britain although I have caught snatches of it from time to time.

Meghan has now said she didn't complain about Piers for herself but for others that are suffering mental health. Sorry, but I find that odd. If it wasn't hurtful then why complain. The comments were about her - not anyone else.

I like GMB but can't abide Piers Morgan, to me he seems obsessed with Megan both on tv ,social media and in the papers.. The fact that she didn't return his call or call him after she said she would ( his words) does not give him the right to follow her across those media platforms and bad mouthed her.

I think that the statement by Mind the mental health charity sealed his fate with ITV as they have run a massive mental health campaign.
The comments may not have hurt Megan but if one person thought that they would be called a liar for speaking out and didn't get help how sad that would be.

It wasn't so long ago that the message 'Be Kind ' was all over the media after Caroline Flack took her life. It didn't take long to be forgotten did it? :-( :-(

I agree with Rollo from another thread, he said Piers does bring the ratings in and on that one show they beat the BBC for a change. Today their stock price went down.
Piers like him or loathe him brings in the viewers which is what they need to bring in the money.

If Piers had suddenly made that comment without his history of similar remarks then I would agree that it was detrimental to mental health suffers. But it was just a continuation of what he has been saying for months.

Perhaps he should have gone earlier then. Did anyone hear the interview with the 3 American presenters where he said he knew that the Queen and William and Charles were livid with Harry and he could feel the tension that was coming from them as he lives near by. Some superpower he has there, no one knows outside of the family and people present what the Queen says or even thinks any more than he knows what I think.
A good journalist ,and yes he draws in the crowds but so did Madame Guillotine I believe. :-)

I read years ago that Meghan had contacted Piers Morgan on a visit to London before starting the relationship with Harry, and kept in contact with him regularly after that happened, until she met Harry or soon after, and then she "ghosted" him without any other message or explanation. Refused to answer his messages.

I think I might get upset if that had happened to me ..........

but the report that she complained officially to the TV station about his comments, and that he has now left ....... or been forced to leave?? ....... worry me.

It is a dangerous precedent to set if her complaint has led to someone losing his job..

We all have the right to express our opinion, and, while I have never seen him (don't watch British TV), what I have read about yesterday what he said was no different from anything he's said over the years since H&M got engaged.

The row yesterday from what I read seemed to be more a disagreement on air with someone who had a differing opinion.

Why let PM say the same thins for over 3 years, and then crack down right now???? People must have complained in the past?

Sylvia......

Clearly, you know very little about Morgan!!!!!

Love him or hate him, free speech is really threatened right now if this is allowed to continue.

Island ..............

No, I don't know him. As I said in the previous post ...... I don't watch British TV. Why should I??

In fact at the moment I am not watching ANY TV.

I only know what I've read about him, and about what Markle has said about him ........ and what you guys have also said.

But anyone has the right to express their opinion, free speech is still part of the UK, US AND Canadian life.

I also do not believe more than a few words of Markle claimed .

I have explained in many places why I do not believe claims made ......

.......... claims of being married 3 days before the ceremonial event, and then also taking the vows again ......... we all know that just doesn't happen .

........ claims that Archie was denied the title of prince because of his colour ......... we all know that there was another, very valid reason for that. Plus the fact that H&M very clearly said they did not want him to have a title within days of his birth.

........ claims that the Royal Family denied them 24/7 security, when there is a separate body that determines that, plus the fact that British police cannot work permanently in another country as security.

........ claims that no-one helped her when she was having problems mentally, when we all know that questions are asked by the obstetrician, doulah and midwife during regular check-ups.

When a few claims are clearly wrong or misinterpreted, then all claims are under suspicion.

Does this mean that I am not supposed to express my opinion on here, or in the open?

Does this mean that you can't?

Do you really mean that no-one is allowed to express their opinion?

As far as I can see, Piers Morgan has been very open about why he dislikes Markle .......... and no-one has stopped him from continuing on that TV show. Until now, and following contact from Markle to the Head of the station..

........... and that contact was not because she was upset for herself, so she has claimed.

That is VERY suspicious!.

I have not watched Piers on the morning programme at all but I have caught excerpts or read in the press when he has been particularly controversial.

I prefer the quieter BBC morning news programme.

What I do remember is reading Piers's newspaper musings and column several years ago. Sometimes he shot from the hip and other times it seemed as though he wanted readers to believe he knew everyone.

It would not surprise me at all if we saw him back on telly because he may well have contractual obligations.

I am still amused to think that he knocked H & M from top spot. It was so easy that it makes me wonder whether he contrived to bring this about. If so, well done!

I am reminded of the witty words of the satirist Samuel Butler, who died over 110 years ago: "I believe that he was really sorry, that people would not believe he was sorry, or that he was not more sorry."
