Peter Andre praises 'unique' and 'unbeatable' Piers Morgan after Donald Trump interview

Peter Andre has thrown his support behind Piers Morgan following the success of his brand-new show, Uncensored.

The Mysterious Girl hit-maker, 49, backed the controversial presenter in his latest column in OK! Magazine.

The Australian pop star gushed over Piers' 'unbeatable' hosting skills, insisting that he always knew he would come back 'bigger and better' after his shocking Good Morning Britain exit last year.

Peter went as far as to say that nobody can do what Piers does as he gushed over him following the success of his new show.

The TV star penned: "Piers launched his show Piers Morgan Uncensored on TalkTV last week.

"I always knew he was going to come back bigger and better and I think it’s a very clever move for him to have his own show where he can do exactly what he wants.

"After he left Good Morning Britain, it was only a matter of time before he would make a comeback."

Peter went on: "Whether you like or dislike Piers or agree with what he says or not, the thing about him is that no one can compete with him because he’s unique.

"He’s a great anchorman and I truly believe no one else can do what he does."

While Peter is clearly a huge fan of Piers' new show, the same can't be said for the hundreds of viewers who 'switched off' after his controversial interview with Donald Trump.

The former President of the United States sat down with the 57-year-old presenter in a pre-recorded chat, which saw him take aim at Prince Harry and his wife Meghan Markle among others.

Boasting he predicts “almost everything”, Trump told Piers he reckons Meghan will ditch Prince Harry for “some other guy she likes better”.

Piers is heading up the flagship show on the brand new TV channel TalkTV as part of a rumoured £50 million three-year deal.

TalkTV viewers took to Twitter to react to the new channel and its flagship show, with many comparing the launch of the new channel to GB News and Fox News across the pond.

One wrote: “I’m out, even morbid curiosity couldn’t keep me tuned in. Not interested in free speech just outrage grift for views.”

Another chimed: “Watched about 10 minutes of the Trump TalkTV thing and I think I've done it; I've reached the point where I genuinely have no interest in what narcissists have to say. Beautiful. Goodbye.

A third posted: “Trump spewing out the same old bulls*** and sound bites. The interview is so manipulated to make it look controversial when in reality it is a sycophantic chat!”

A fellow fan weighed in saying: "Oh my days, TalkTV is bloody awful! Not 100% sure if it’s a massive spoof or not."

It comes after Piers marched out of the studio after a heated clash with weather presenter Alex Beresford over Meghan Markle and Prince Harry's tell-all interview with Oprah Winfrey.

Ofcom received more than 41,000 complaints after Piers claimed he “didn't believe” Meghan was telling the truth while discussing her “suicidal” thoughts.

When Alex slammed Piers for his "absolutely diabolical" behaviour, his rival dramatically walked out saying he was "done with this", although he did later return to the live show.

This led to a series of events which ended with Piers leaving his role on GMB.
