Piers Morgan dares Meghan Markle to be guest on new show as there's unfinished business

Piers Morgan has dared Meghan Markle to be the first guest on his new TV show as they have 'unfinished business'.

The former Good Morning Britain presenter quit his role on the ITV breakfast show last year, following the fall out from his clash with GMB co-star Alex Beresford over his response to Meghan and husband Prince Harry's interview with Oprah Winfrey.

At the time, Piers played down Meghan's mental health admissions and the following day, he clashed with the weather presenter over the comments he had made the previous day, leading Piers to storm off set.

Now, as he prepares for a new show on TalkTV, Piers has dared the Duchess of Sussex to be his first guest.

"Fundamentally, what I want the show to do is be a platform for free speech and debate," he told Sky News Australia, "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.

"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."

Since he left GMB, Piers hasn't minced his words about Meghan and earlier this year, he vowed to get even with Meghan as he claimed she had 'tried to cancel him' over his opinion.

"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," he said as he announced a new venture recently.

"Pushy little Princess Pinocchio tried her utmost to cancel me, and she will be in for a very unpleasant surprise when I emerge, like Lazarus, from my den.

"It was a pretty bruising experience on Good Morning Britain but I’m now working somewhere where I’m free to express my opinions."

At the time of his GMB exit, Piers branded Meghan a 'liar' and blamed her for his exit from the show.

"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," he shared.

"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."
