Controversial man of the moment Piers Morgan has exited his role as a presenter on Good Morning Britain, ITV has announced.
His exit comes after broadcasting regulator Ofcom launched an investigation after it received more than 41,000 complaints regarding comments made by the presenter following Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s interview with Oprah Winfrey
In a statement announcing Piers’ exit, ITV said: “Following discussions with ITV, Piers Morgan has decided now is the time to leave Good Morning Britain.
“ITV has accepted this decision and has nothing further to add.”
Meghan Markle opened up about feeling suicidal during her time in the Royal Family in her explosive interview with Oprah Winfrey.
After the interview aired, Piers Morgan said on TV while reacting to the interview:
“I’m sorry, I don’t believe a word she says. I wouldn’t believe her if she read me a weather report.”
Morgan’s statement about Meghan and Harry angered a lot of people and they called him out. Piers Morgan’s co-host, Alex Beresford, also called him out on TV and it resulted in Morgan walking out on live TV.

People are entitled to an opinion this has all been blown up beyond belief. Piers Morgan has always had a strong opinion and will do I’m sure until the day he takes his last breath. Keep your chin up Pierce. I’m sure GMB ratings will now fall massively. I for one will be no longer a viewer of the program
Piers Morgan come back you make the show you’re honest you’re truthful you say it as it is there’s too many people out there that why crawl up bum holes and you’re not like that and that’s what I love about you never know why you never became a politician . Love you miss you but I will be boycotting good morning Britain I wake up with your honesty and I have nothing else to look forward to now … stay safe move on because I know there’s a lot of people out there that love you For your honesty I am a huge fan . We all knew Megan was going to be trouble. Love you miss you but I will be boycotting good morning Britain I wake up with your honesty and I have nothing else to look forward to now …. stay safe x We all knew Megan was going to be trouble. Xx
Agree with every word you said Piers. Interview her best acted part yet. She lied about colour of skin remark by making it sound as if made whilst she was pregnant with Archie instead of maybe a passing remark before they were even married. She also said there were conversations, plural, about it. Then also the nonsense about lack of titles and security. Charles was so kind and considerate with her mother at the wedding, too, as he has been with her. He must be so dreadfully hurt. They encourage the neediness in each other, which is not good. She wanted the glamour but not the constraints and I’m sure resented Kate, always destined to outrank her by virtue of her marriage to a future king. So very sorry I can’t wake up to you any more. Thursdays and Fridays were always dull and flat without you. I wish you much success in the future.
Piers should return GMTV will never be the same and I won’t be watching it starlight talking says it as he sees it and entitled to his opinion so he don’t like Megan thousands don’t like Megan I don’t like Megan she is putting down our Monachy howmdare she

So many complained but he put it right about mental health why should she be believed without facts
