Piers Morgan took aim at ITV as he discussed reports Jeremy Clarkson could be getting axed from Who Wants To Be A Millionaire?
ITV recently hinted the upcoming season of the popular quiz show, which is now currently in production, maybe Jeremy's final series as host as his contract to present the show is up.
They said they have "no future commitments" to renew the contract with controversial host Jeremy, 62.
Equally controversial presenter, Piers, discussed the rumours on his show on TalkTV show, Uncensored, where he talked about being 'cancelled' by ITV – after he quit ITV breakfast show Good Morning Britain.
After asking his guests whether they think Jeremy deserves to be 'cancelled', he pointed to himself and said: "You're literally looking at someone who was cancelled."
His guest, historian and writer Tessa Dunlop, responded: "You're not cancelled because you're sitting right there."
Piers continued: "Rupert Murdoch, who owns TalkTV and the company, actually came and gave me a job and thankfully he believes in free speech.
"And the truth is, I was cancelled from Good Morning Britain at the time it became the number one morning show in the country. I was cancelled because I refused to believe Meghan Markle, now I have to be cancelled for believing it."
Before Piers had the chance to continue talking about his 'cancellation', his guest said: "Let's return to the question about Jeremy Clarkson."

Meanwhile, Jeremy recently broke his silence following the claims the popular quiz show was scrapped by ITV.
The television presenter came under fire after sharing his opinions on Meghan Markle and has since apologised but it had been claimed he may have lost his job on the ITV programme.
He has fronted the show since its revival in 2018 and has appeared in eight seasons.
The former Top Gear presenter has took to his social media channel to share his side of the story and shut down claims he had lost his job.
Jeremy wrote: "So many kind messages about today's reports. But relax. Lisa and I have not split up and I have not been sacked as host of Who Wants To Be A Millionaire?"
The speculations came after ITV boss Carolyn McCall hinted that the upcoming series of the quiz show could be Clarkson's last as his contract draws to a close.
A spokesperson for ITV told The Mirror: "As we have said for several weeks, ITV is contractually committed to a further series of Who Wants to Be a Millionaire? (which has now been recorded.)
"There are no further commissioning commitments beyond that currently as is typical with such shows where we make commissioning decisions on a series-by-series basis.
"Therefore for the avoidance of doubt neither Who Wants to Be a Millionaire? nor Jeremy Clarkson have been cancelled."
