It’s been days since Piers Morgan quit GMB over Meghan Markle, but he’s still feeling the full force of the backlash.
The ITV star angered viewers when he launched into a bitter rant about Meghan earlier this week.
He said that he didn’t believe that the Duchess of Sussex had ever felt suicidal, despite her claims.
Over the following days, over 40,000 people complained to Ofcom, and ITV and Piers decided to part ways.

The 27 year old first revealed he was shocked by the amount of support passers-by were giving his father.
However, he then called out a “woke Karen” for abusing them.
Admittedly one [bleep] woke Karen did walk past and say ‘you revolting people’.
He tweeted: “Wow. Just went on one of them lame Covid walks with @piersmorgan.
“The level of public support on the street was actually mind blowing. The social media bubble is fake. Team Piers is real. And it’s huge.”
He added: “Admittedly one [bleep] woke Karen did walk past and say ‘you revolting people’ as two couples were praising him.”

Piers ‘still don’t’ believe Meghan
Despite losing his job, Piers has remained defiant this week.
After the announcement, Piers said on Twitter: “On Monday, I said I didn’t believe Meghan Markle in her Oprah interview.
“I’ve had time to reflect on this opinion, and I still don’t. If you did, OK.
“Freedom of speech is a hill I’m happy to die on. Thanks for all the love, and hate. I’m off to spend more time with my opinions.”
