Piers Morgan finally sacked from GMB [title edited by MNHQ at OP's request]

I wonder if the Royal Family stepped in for this to happen

This news comes minutes after the Buckingham Palace statement on behalf of the Queen.

I'm so delighted that odious man has finally gone.

He quit according to the report I just read...

Oh thank goodness. I prefer a BBC Breakfast but would like to have the option

@DonLewis

He quit according to the report I just read...

Doubt that's the truth. Jumped before he was pushed and probably going to claim he told them to stuff it I imagine.

He’s quit. Not been sacked.

Highly doubt the palace did this.

There is an ofcom investigation though. We better not see him next week ITV.

I doubt he would have quit. He would have been forced to resign.

I can finally watch GMTV again properly, yay.

I'd rather have him any day than your darling Meeeagain.

Hopefully off air for good. Disgusting man.

Oh I think the Palace would have had words after last nights interview and PM comments yesterday and today.

He's very much the driving force behind the vitriol towards MM and I can't believe it's taken this long for him to be pushed out.

They must be so delighted on GMTV.

Nah, he'll reappear soon enough.

It’s not about him vs Meghan. He has bullied a woman nearly every morning, he never lets his co presenters get a word in, he stormed off air this morning when he was picked up on his behaviour. But the worst of it was he said on live television in front of millions of people that he didn’t believe someone when they said they were suicidal. No one has the right to do that. He should of been fired a long time ago.

He was probably asked to apologise, refused and jumped before he was pushed.

Whether he quit or was sacked, he was never going to be in the show again, was he?

Delighted. Leaving aside all the MM stuff, his behaviour with Charlotte Hawkins this morning was disgusting.

@MagicSummer

I'd rather have him any day than your darling Meeeagain.

Even if you don't like Meghan you must be able to see what a cunt he is? Surely that hasn't bypassed you?

I thought he was great this time last year. Asking questions which needed to be asked that were otherwise not being asked but then he just took it too far and made uncomfortable viewing and not in a good way!

Any thoughts on who might replace him?

Absolutely!

I'm sure he will reappear but I'm pleased for everyone having to put up with him on GMTV that he's finally gone.

It did make me chuckle though that when the lovely Alex Beresford had words with him yesterday or today I forget now re MM that Piers stormed off set. I mean Piers talks / berates / antagonises / bullies people far worse than that on a daily basis yet here he is walking off in strop when questioned about his motives and behaviour, like the spoilt child he is.

excellent, can now watch GMB again!

He bullies everyone, he loves it, he's just an unpleasant man to watch and sets a shocking example to younger viewers who's parents actually watch GMTV. He needed to go.

They should get Eamonn Holmes back on as he's free again.

@DanaCScully

excellent, can now watch GMB again!

I've got to agree, I feel the same. Never watched because of him.

The royal family would have had precisely zip all to do with this.

How the hell he has a job after tapping peoples phones is beyond me.
He’s a nasty racist misogynist shit bag.
