Caitlyn Jenner has cancelled her appearance with Piers Morgan after the former Good Morning Britain presenter shared a clip teasing his new show. Piers' TalkTV series Uncensored will begin on Monday, April 25 with Donald Trump announced as the first guest.
A sneak peek of the interview, which has been dubbed "the most explosive of the year", was shared on Piers' social media channels and appears to show the former president storming off the set. Following the release of the promo video, Trump released a statement claiming the clip had been "doctored" to make it look like he'd walked out.
Trump was supported by Caitlyn who took to Twitter after the teaser aired and announced she had cancelled her appearance with Piers due to his "repulsive misconduct". Sharing someone else's view on the interview, Caitlyn wrote: "'This is a pathetic attempt to use President Trump as a way to revive the career of a failed television host'," @TayFromCA …couldn't agree more."

Adding: "@piersmorgan I have just had my management cancel my appearance with you for this Wednesday because of your repulsive misconduct today."
Piers hit back at the Tweet and responded: "Hi Caitlyn, I thought you hated cancel culture? I did a 75-minute interview with President Trump, why don’t you actually watch it before deciding how I behaved?"
Trump has since released a lengthy statement, claiming that Piers had "unlawfully and deceptively edited" the interview. He said: "Piers Morgan, like the rest of the fake news media, attempted to unlawfully and deceptively edit his long and tedious interview.
"He wanted to make it look like I walked out on the interview when my time limit of 20 minutes went over by an hour. The interview was actually very strong on the 2020 Election Fraud, with me calling him a 'fool' if he truly believed those results."
Morgan said in reply to Trump's statement: "Morning, Mr President! It was a great interview, thanks for all your time.
"Sorry you got so annoyed that I don’t believe the 2020 election was rigged or stolen from you, but as I said, where’s your proof? If you have it, show us - or accept the result and move on."
Piers' new show Uncensored launches on Monday, April 25 on Talk TV. His return to television comes one year after he famously stormed off the Good Morning Britain set and quit the show just hours later. For more showbiz and television stories, get our newsletter here.
