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

much prefer BBC breakfast - now there is quality broadcasting! oh minus Naga Munchetty!

Good riddance. Never been able to stand the pompous twat.

Lol at the Queen sacking Piers Morgan from GMB. He quit.

This talk of Eamonn Holmes possibly returning is worrying. Please no.

@squaresonapage

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

course he has, he's too controversial, brings in ratings.

Nobody gets people foaming at the mouth like Piers Morgan.

He'll be back 🌺

Elderflower14 · 09/03/2021 19:10

It's GMB not GMTV. It's not been that for years!!

FlyingByTheSeatof · 09/03/2021 19:11

If he was sacked they would say he was sacked

Yes that's true @Snowball70

Maybe I just want to believe he was sacked and that ITV did the right thing.

I haven’t seen the whole clip yet, but it did seem that he was being antagonised a bit Oh poor downtrodden love. Given the way he shouts over people, never lets them get a word in, and has even declared interviews over when he doesn’t want to hear what they say it’s no more than he deserves.

Someone said this morning that this is all a persona because he’s totally different on Piers Morgan’s real lives. Personally I think that one is the persona, and this is the real him.

And susanna has been enabling him for years. She’s almost as bad, IMO.

ITV’s figures will rocket tomorrow though, because millions will tune in to see what’s said about him going.

Hopefully the two simpering stepford wives Susannah and Charlotte won't be far behind.

Crookairroad · 09/03/2021 19:11

@JJSS123

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
It’s on you tube.

I think they'd loved to have sacked him, he likely got in first 🌺

We don’t need people like him on our screens - toxic man

HeartsAndClubs · 09/03/2021 19:12

I am 100% sure that he was pushed to resign.

Roselilly36 · 09/03/2021 19:12

At last some positive news,I should imagine PM said AB or me, PM get your coat.

that's an endless list 🌺

Sorry I've now asked MN to change to GMB in the title

you have inside information ? do tell

Elderflower14 · 09/03/2021 19:13

@Lobsterquadrille2

Dreadful man. Thank God he's gone. How about Bill Turnbull?
Bill Turnbull has prostate cancer....
Creamcrackersandricecakes · 09/03/2021 19:13

Bless all the naive peeps saying, 'oh he quit, he wasn't sacked'.

GMB boss - 'either you resign or you're out. You choose'
PM - 'well I quit then! And I'm going to tell all my Daily Mail dimwit gammon readers that it was my decision! And I told you where to stick your crummy job!
GMB boss - 'yeah, ok then. Whatever. Don't forget to hand your pass in at security.'
PM - (from the hall, shrieking) - 'you'll be sorry!!'
GMB boss - 'mmm-hmm. Bye then.'

nitsandwormsdodger · 09/03/2021 19:15

The queen does not hire and fire tv personalities you are confusing her with simon cowell

tobee · 09/03/2021 19:15

Digression but Hope Bill Turnball is doing ok (or as well as can be expected)

LoudestCat14 · 09/03/2021 19:15

I bet he quit because the bosses wouldn't sack Alex Beresford for showing him up this morning.

Sparklingbrook · 09/03/2021 19:15

GMB boss - 'either you resign or you're out. You choose'
PM-I'm out I have another job lined up anyway. See ya.

Is probably more like it. Grin

I think this too. Seems like a MASSIVE coincidence. One of them had to go and it had to be PM.
ilovemydogandmrobama2 · 09/03/2021 19:17

Alex Beresford is my hero...
