Will Piers Morgan return to GMB? Host hints at Good Morning Britain comeback after ratings fall

Piers Morgan says he has been approached about a potential return to Good Morning Britain.

The TV presenter, 56, left the show in March following incendiary comments about the Duchess of Sussex.

Good Morning Britain has reportedly suffered a decline in viewers since Morgan’s departure and he said there had been contact from a third party over a comeback.

He told The Sun: “I have had some quite random third-party feelers put out to see if I would consider a return to the show. I don’t want to say on the record who, but a pretty close third-party.

“As the Americans say, they reached out — there have been approaches to test the water in the wake of their obvious ratings issues. It makes me sad to see all the hard work we did to beat the BBC in viewing numbers evaporate so fast.

“It’s their problem to work out… but never say never.”

Why did Morgan leave GMB?

ITV announced Morgan had left the show on the evening of 9 March.

Morgan’s final episode of the show saw him storm off the set after a heated exchange with co-star Alex Beresford, in which Beresford accused Morgan of “trashing” Meghan.

Morgan had previously said he did not believe what Meghan said during her headline-making interview with Oprah Winfrey. He has since stood by his controversial comments, and said his departure from Good Morning Britain was caused by the “cancel culture that is permeating our country”.

The duchess said she was ignored when raising concerns about her mental health and that racist comments had been made before the birth of her son, Archie.

Morgan said on-air that he “didn’t believe a word” of her interview with chat show host Winfrey when she laid bare her struggles.
