What did Piers Morgan share about his exit from ITV show Good Morning Britain?

One Twitter user, tagging Piers, wrote: “I’ll tell you why I respect @piersmorgan, irrespective of whether or not I agree with him.

“He said something, meant it sincerely, was attacked for it, then stuck by his guns, accepted consequences. He owned what he said and he meant it. I can’t fault him for that.”

What did Piers’ fans say?

The Life Stories host’s followers were divided in the replies, though.

One said: “Agreed. You never back down and fight for what you believe! People want to hate you but also want to be you! I just love you!”

Thank you. This is a perfect summary of what went down.

Another wrote: “I’ve greatly admired Piers the last year for the way he’s handled the pandemic. I see he’s also a great friend to those going through tough times… they’re lucky to have him as a mate.”

However, someone else said: “No, it isn’t. What happened was, Piers and Meghan were friends, she dropped him and like a child he took every opportunity to attack her.”

Piers takes fresh dig at wedding claims

It comes after Piers Morgan hit out at Meghan Markle again, amid reports she and Prince Harry did not secretly marry each other before their official wedding.

Piers quit GMB earlier this month after refusing to apologise for comments he made about the Duchess of Sussex.

On the programme, Piers had said he didn’t believe the claims Meghan made in her interview with Oprah Winfrey.

During the chat, Meghan said she and Harry had actually tied the knot before the ceremony at Windsor Castle, but reports have since suggested it’s not true.

Stephen Borton, former chief clerk at the Faculty Office, said the service Meghan referred to was not the official wedding.

And Piers couldn’t resist commenting on the revelation. He shared a news article about it for his Twitter followers and asked them: “Do we still have to believe her?”
