Piers Morgan has returned to breakfast television for the first time since storming off Good Morning Britain last year.
The 56-year-old appeared alongside Sophie Raworth on yesterday's edition of BBC's Sunday Morning show.
The broadcaster quit the ITV programme in March 2021 after making controversial comments about Meghan Markle.

Mr Morgan marked his TV comeback by referencing the incident, which prompted 54,595 Ofcom complaints.
He said: "I haven’t been on breakfast television for nearly a year, it feels weird but sort of nice.
"My one question for you is: Am I allowed to have an opinion? Because that was the problem last time."
The presenter discussed the latest headlines on the BBC show, which included Prince Harry and Meghan Markle's request to have protection from British police so they can visit the UK.
Mr Morgan blasted the married couple for their "brazen double standard" after they quit as senior Royals in 2020.
He said: "It was chillingly inevitable that these two [Harry and Meghan] would pop their heads up again right when the Queen least wants them to.
"Why should the British police protect him? He’s now a private citizen, he doesn’t do any Royal duties, they’re making hundreds of millions of dollars fleecing their Royal titles, which they still have while simultaneously trashing the Royal family and the institution of the monarchy that his grandmother is the head of, and now they want to have their cake as always.
"I think again there’s a brazen double standard."
However, viewers following the show on Twitter were furious he covered the topic on the show.
Maggie said: "Why the hell is Piers Morgan on TV on a Sunday morning and why was he given carte blanche to air is obsessive, creepy anger with Prince Harry and Meghan?? BBC get your act together and keep him off your programmes! Had to turn over to Phillips."
Al added: "Turns on beebs Sunday Morning, sees Piers Morgan mincing about Harry and Megan again ...turns off Sunday Morning."
Heather commented: "Thought I'd have a look at @sophieraworth show as I refused to watch Marr. Five minutes in and @piersmorgan is on the screen, one minute later he's having a go at Prince Harry. Not exactly the new, dynamic Sunday morning I'd hoped for. Same old, same old. Reach for remote. Off"
@MrMajestikness posted: "Piers Morgan slagging off Harry and Meghan on live TV. Who would have expected that? The man's obsession is frightening."
