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

@AngelDelightUk

It hasn’t been called GMTV for years, it’s Good Morning Britain.

I haven’t seen the whole clip yet, but it did seem that he was being antagonised a bit

He wasn't antagonised. He was being called out for his incessant bullying and misogyny.

He’s a sexist, bigoted tosser and I imagine he was given the option to quit or be fired.

Regardless of your personal feelings of someone you don’t go on live television and minimise their mental health issues.

ITV would have been hideously hypocritical to continue to employ him. Hopefully he won’t work in daytime television again.

He was being shown up for what he is.

The man so vocal about H&M 'running' away after all the bad press and he boosts off live - the irony.

Sorry, I've not watched it properly since Piers started working on it as he's so odious to watch.

It's a much nicer atmosphere between Ben and Susanna, if they bring in Eamonn I will be switching off!

Babygotblueyes · 09/03/2021 19:03

He is a complete bully - did some good work holding the government to account but has been increasingly deranged about MM. I dont usually watch the program, have seen it a few times - but am now totally in love with Alex Beresford!

Daily Mail chalking it up as a victory for 'cancel culture' FFS.

SnarkyBag · 09/03/2021 19:04

I suspect the only reason he walked off set for 30 minutes was to have a really angry wank before returning. Honestly his obsession with MM is quite disturbing.

Amazing just how far he was allowed to go with it and for how long.

cyclingmad · 09/03/2021 19:04

Anyone who supports that man needs a seriously head examine.

Finally at last he no longer has a platform as big as the morning show to spout his vile views that have no place in this fay and age. All his bullying of women and then he will be like oh I support women. Feck off.

I hope no television show employs him of give him a platform to spout his disgusting views.

Lobsterquadrille2 · 09/03/2021 19:04

Dreadful man. Thank God he's gone. How about Bill Turnbull?

Franticbutterfly · 09/03/2021 19:05

Haven't RTWT but I should think an offer will have come up from GB News.

Snowball70 · 09/03/2021 19:05

@DonLewis

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

Yes he quit 🌺

MumsThewordw02 · 09/03/2021 19:06

@EveryoneRevealsThemselves

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

But ... ^^ this.

@UhtredRagnarson

The royal family would have had precisely zip all to do with this.
I get the feeling the "institution" is like the "company" from prison break... has alot more say in what happens in this country than we realise....

Just kidding of course but there are similarities.

Snowball70 · 09/03/2021 19:07

He'll be replaced by Alex Beresford 🌺

Nancylovesthecock · 09/03/2021 19:07

Ding dong the dick is gone! 😁🎉🎊

Inthevirtualwaitingroom · 09/03/2021 19:07

he had it coming

HmmmmmmInteresting · 09/03/2021 19:08

Even better that he resigned. The trash took itself out!

Baconking · 09/03/2021 19:08

@Whiskeyontherocks

Wether he quit or was sacked, this is the best thing to come out of this sorry mess. He is an odious, obnoxious cunt.
Agreed!!Gin
Snowball70 · 09/03/2021 19:08

There's a campaign to remove Suzanna Reid 🌺

FlyingByTheSeatof · 09/03/2021 19:08

I believe it was a forced resignation.

But even if he did quit and lose his beloved platform upon which he bullies people daily I'm glad to see the back of him.

If he was sacked they would say he was sacked.

Good
squaresonapage · 09/03/2021 19:09

Glad he's gone from GMB but honestly he still has a long career ahead of him at those awful far right broadcasters that are on their way, GB News or whatever TV channel Murdoch has up his sleeve

JJSS123 · 09/03/2021 19:09

With regards to the Charlotte comment can anyone tell me what he actually said to her? I missed it this morning and can’t find a clip anywhere! Thanks in advance. X
