In a surprising turn of events, media personality Piers Morgan is set to make a comeback to Good Morning Britain nearly four years after his dramatic exit from the ITV breakfast show, reported Daily Record. The 59-year-old, now a prominent face on TalkTV, took to X to announce what he called “breaking news” that has quickly become the talk of the town.
Morgan’s tweet left little room for doubt about his intentions. He declared, “BREAKING: It’s been nearly 4yrs (1,453 days to be precise!) since I departed @GMB rather hastily… but tomorrow morning, for the first time, I’m going back. I’ll be on with @susannareid100 & @edballs at 8.15 am.” His return marks a dramatic homecoming to the show where his departure was widely publicised following an explosive on-air clash.
The announcement instantly set social media abuzz. Fans flooded the comments section with mixed reactions. One commentator sharply questioned, “Going back to do what? Thought you said that channel is part of the woke MSM, so you won’t be a part ever again.”
Meanwhile, another user suggested a touch of nostalgia with, “They should start with you walking back in with that same suit & then taking one of the seats you used to sit in.” Amid the critiques, some supporters cheered his decision. “Make sure you flex on your compared ratings! Their loss clearly!” one excited viewer wrote, though not everyone was pleased. Another user lamented, “Ah, fantastic. Piers back on GMB after 1,453 days – because clearly, Britain hasn’t been punished enough this week.”
Morgan’s tumultuous exit in March 2021 remains a defining moment in his career. The incident unfolded during a heated exchange with weather presenter Alex Beresford about the Duchess of Sussex, Meghan Markle. The confrontation escalated when Beresford remarked, “I understand that you don’t like Meghan Markle, you’ve made it so clear a number of times on this programme, and I understand you’ve got a personal relationship with Meghan Markle and she cut you off. She’s entitled to cut you off if she wants to. Has she said anything about you since she cut you off? I don’t think she has but yet you continue to trash her…”, according to Metro.co.uk.
The tension culminated when Morgan abruptly left the studio, stating, “OK, I’m done with this, sorry, no, can’t do this.” Beresford later labelled Morgan’s actions as “pathetic” and “diabolical” – a comment that resonated with many viewers at the time.
Following that explosive moment, Morgan confirmed his departure from GMB and shifted his focus to TalkTV. However, his recent announcement signals a return to the platform that once ignited such controversy. Responding to his initial outburst, Beresford remarked, “I’m sorry but Piers spouts off on a regular basis and we all have to sit there and listen, 6.30 to seven o’clock yesterday was incredibly hard to watch, incredibly hard to watch. This is, you know, he has the ability to come in here and talk from a position where he doesn’t fully understand.”
In a further tweet, he added, “I wish I had the privilege to sit on the fence. In order for me to do that I would have to strip myself of my identity and that’s not something I can do. It’s not any of our places to pick apart claims of racism in order to make us to feel more comfortable.”
Morgan’s return promises to be as headline-grabbing as his previous tenure, and all eyes will be on Good Morning Britain tomorrow morning as the veteran broadcaster steps back into the limelight.
