How Piers left GMB
Piers indicated he doubted the accuracy of the account given by Meghan in her interview with Oprah.
He said he “didn’t believe a word” she said after she spoke about feeling suicidal and claiming she didn’t receive help from the palace.
Following a tense exchange with GMB colleague Alex Beresford, Piers walked off the studio set.
Bosses confirmed later that day that Piers would leave the programme.
Richard Madeley, Adil Ray and Alastair Campbell have been among those to fill in since.
