I am glad, I think this was the right decision and I didn't agree with his comments.

Mental health is a huge issue and I think he took it too far.

He’s been pretty toxic about a lot of things hasn’t he? I always assumed he was deliberately controversial for the publicity.

StoneofDestiny · 09/03/2021 19:11

Fantastic news. Simply didn't have the balls to face Alex the weatherman tomorrow who brought him down.

HmmmmmmInteresting · 09/03/2021 19:12

Fantastic news.

Here's the link to a clip of him saying Meghan is lying about suicidal thoughts

Shame he hasn't left Britain full stop imo.

I've seen him in a pub near me a couple of times. His mere presence put me right off my lunch, and it was a struggle not to walk over and tip my pint over his stupid smug head.

JesusInTheCabbageVan · 09/03/2021 19:13

Brilliant! Loathsome shit.

Emeraldshamrock · 09/03/2021 19:17

What a childish immature reaction.
His interview skills are terrible shouting people down. He used his voice to spread controversial bullshit.
Good riddance.

TheHateIsNotGood · 09/03/2021 19:17

Has he? Hardly ever watch the bloke (or much Morning Newsy Progs) but thought I'd tune in for the pre-show Oprah stuff. Mostly heard some woman shouting at him, it was not good TV so I switched off.

Has he declared a particular reason for quitting or did he find this Morning TV Newsy stuff as boring as I do.

StoneofDestiny · 09/03/2021 19:17

Morgan has been bullying, shouting over people, humiliating guests and showing his personal obsession with Meghan Markle for months. Nobody challenges him. His co presenter Reid just sits there like a stuffed decoration, enabling his behaviour. Today, he actually asked Charlotte to stand up and show us all to show us her legs - and she did 😱. What century are these people living in.

Alex the weatherman is invited to share his views - he does (for a few seconds) and Morgan stomps off set and within hours resigns!

No balls Morgan - dish it out, can't take it!

Interesting to know who will replace him tomorrow 😂🥂😂🥂. No more decorative mock journalists.

HmmmmmmInteresting · 09/03/2021 19:19

ITV are contemptible. They have a mental health campaign and are all '#BeKind' after one of their presenters, Caroline Flack, commited suicide after abuse by trolls, yet they give this c**t a platform to harass and stalk Meghan Markle day after day for three years.

I wish advertisers would boycott them and hit them in the wallet where it hurts.

MrsTulipTattsyrup · 09/03/2021 19:19

I’m sure it was all staged to get some publicity. I fully expect him to announce tomorrow that he’s joining Andrew Neil’s vile parade of right-wing twats on his new news channel.

You clearly watch it, then. That's why ITV kept him on- ratings.

Oh it was!
A Dr (big brain) turned his own tactics on him - shouted him down into silence, had her say, and moved on. The first and only person to do it! That eroded his armour and Alex sauntered up to finish the job.

Catslovepies · 09/03/2021 19:21

He'll have left to join Andrew Neil on his new channel modelled on Fox news, so very right wing and hateful.

iwasntlying · 09/03/2021 19:22

Thank God .

I was called an attention seeking liar at 17 when I started self harming . My GP laughed, told me I was a nutter and if I was genuinely suicidal I’d work harder at it . That was only twelve years ago .

It was years before I could ever talk about my mental health again and even now I don’t fully trust doctors and nurses, I’m scared they’re laughing too .

I’m utterly relieved that Piers will no longer able to spout his drivel on daytime TV and do any more damage to the way we treat mental health .

BuffyTheBuffetSlayer · 09/03/2021 19:23

Utterly shameful in this day and age, with all the cyber bullying that goes on and ITV gave him a platform for SO long to bully one individual so cruelly and publically on national tv.

Can you imagine being someone with so much hate being thrown at you every single day for years, I'm not surprised she contemplated suicide. Adults, children have gone through with it for less!!

StoneofDestiny · 09/03/2021 19:23

Since I've not had to leave the house for work I have watched it intermittently. Certainly enough to form an opinion on them all. Today was a delight to see - Alex the silent assassin. 🥂🥂

Cactus1982 · 09/03/2021 19:24

He’s vile to Matt Hancock as well. Not that he hasn’t deserved it on occasion, but it’s obvious he has a personal dislike of Hancock which has nothing to do with politics or the pandemic. I bet he secretly he doesn’t have to face him on GMB again!

Cactus1982 · 09/03/2021 19:24

Secretly pleased he doesn’t have to be interview by Piers again.

TrialOfStyle · 09/03/2021 19:25

I’m wondering if the talks took place this morning, hence his toddler strop. Ofcom has a ridiculously high amount of complaints so ITV were likely forced to take a stance. And I can’t imagine that stance being Morgan actually making a formal apology.

Roselilly36 · 09/03/2021 19:26

Couldn’t understand how he kept the job after his Christmas Antigua trip, but good news, I can watch GMB again.

Susanna regularly challenges him
Marmaladeagain · 09/03/2021 19:26

Can't help but feel it is all slight staged by PM to me - needed to get out a contract to take up another role in the summer maybe? Gets a golden handshake to go quietly from ITV, whilst in talks with others....

nanbread · 09/03/2021 19:26

I reckon ITV asked him to apologise in tomorrow's show (after today's pathetic non apology) and he refused so walked instead. They won't have wanted him to go, he's good for ratings.

But I'm glad he's gone. Nasty little man.

nanbread · 09/03/2021 19:27

He'll certainly be offered a job at Bigot TV soon

squaresonapage · 09/03/2021 19:27

Glad he's not on a mainstream show any more, but as pp have said it won't be long before he gets his own show on one of those right wing channels that is on the way
