A few hours after the assault on Good morning Great Britain Piers Morgan has dropped out of the program, ITV said on Tuesday, in the middle of her costume for Meghan Markle’s full interview with Oprah Winfrey.
“Following the talks with ITV, Piers Morgan decided it was time to leave Good morning Great Britain, ” said the British network in a concise statement. “ITV has accepted this decision and has nothing to add.”
Earlier on Tuesday, Morgan left the British show this morning when his co-star, Alex Beresford, called him to his relentless garbage by Meghan, the Duchess of Sussex.
In particular, Beresford highlighted Morgan’s apparent disappointment that Markle had stopped contacting him when he began meeting Prince Harry.
“I understand you don’t like Meghan Markle,” Beresford said. “You have said this program so clearly several times and I understand that you had a personal relationship with Meghan Markle and she interrupted you. Did he say anything about you after he interrupted you? He has the right to interrupt you if he wants. And yet keep throwing it in the trash. ”
While Morgan put on a big show off the set during the live broadcast this morning, Beresford described his actions as “pathetic” and “absolutely evil.”
Morgan’s co-star hinted at remarks the former CNN host had made in the past about how Markle began dating Prince Harry shortly after the former actress went out for a drink with Morgan, suggesting that she was the basis of Morgan’s animosity. In a 2018 talk show interview, Morgan complained that the future Duchess of Sussex was a “ghost” even though “they behaved brilliantly.”
Vitriol’s relentless campaign against Markle – which had spread across the Atlantic – included him questioning the duchess’s allegations that she had experienced suicidal thoughts and that the “royal aid institution” had refused to help her.
“Who did you go to?” What did they tell you? I’m sorry, I don’t believe a word he said, Meghan Markle, “Morgan exclaimed in Monday’s issue of Good morning Great Britain. “I wouldn’t believe if he read me a weather report.”
These comments, in particular, came under fire from British television regulator Ofcom, which launched an investigation into the show under the “injury and crime” rule after receiving tens of thousands of complaints about the program following Morgan’s remarks. .
