Piers Morgan asks Meghan Markle to be first ever guest on new show because of 'unfinished business'

Piers Morgan has asked Meghan Markle to be his first ever guest on his new TV show because they have "unfinished business".

The ex Good Morning Britain host left his job on ITV last year following the controversy over Meghan and Prince Harry's famous chat with Oprah Winfrey.

Piers had played down Meghan's mental health confessions and had differences with weather presenter Alex Beresford, which led to him waking off the show.

Now Piers has dared Meghan to be his first guest on his new series with TalkTV.

Piers told Sky News Australia: "Fundamentally, what I want the show to do is be a platform for free speech and debate and the right for people to come on and have their own opinion without being shamed and cancelled - because that’s the way back for society."

He added: "If Meghan Markle’s watching – I’m sure she is – if you want to be my first guest, we have a bit of unfinished business. I’m available."

Piers has been unwavering in his views on Meghan.

He recently said: "Effectively I was censored at my previous job and told to apologise to Meghan Markle for an honestly held opinion, which obviously I wasn’t going to do."

Piers claimed Meghan was a 'liar' when he left GMB.

He said: "I didn't know this at the time but Meghan Markle had complained to my boss at ITV on the Monday night. It was demanded I apologise for disbelieving her otherwise I would have to vacate my chair."

"I thought there was hypocrisy, I thought there were downright lies coming out in the interview. I saw my job to hold them to account like I would to a government minister and for doing that, within 36 hours I had to leave the job."
