Gone before he was pushed, I imagine

Somethingkindaoooo · 09/03/2021 18:30

Is it happening?

Batshittery · 09/03/2021 18:30

41,000 complaints can't really be ignored. Good riddance

TinySongstress · 09/03/2021 18:32

Source?

WhiskyIrnBru · 09/03/2021 18:32

Good! It might actually be semi watchable!

Jumped before he was pushed.

Excellent news.

ITV’s CEO, Carolyn McCall, was once my boss when she worked in a different industry. From what I know of her, I’m not at all surprised by this decision.

I did wonder, clearly a very unhappy place today/yesterday.

On bbc news site.

HettySunshine · 09/03/2021 18:33

Thank goodness.

GivenchyDahhling · 09/03/2021 18:33

Also agree that it was jump before he was pushed.

I don’t know what ITV expected though. When you hire someone controversial to say controversial things, it’s always going to end in tears because they’re always going to take it too far.

Ohdeariedear · 09/03/2021 18:34

It’s all over Twitter. Something like “Following discussions, Piers has decided now is a good time to leave GMB. There will be no further comment from ITV.”

Good! He’s a nasty, vile bully. I bet he was voluntold to go.

It's all well and good 41000 people complaining now but no action was taken over those years he tore that woman to shreds on a daily basis at times and behaved like a creepy stalker because she realised he was a dickhead and didn't want to be friends with him. If these were normal people he'd be looking at charges right now. And ITV should he acted far sooner for the constant torrent of abuse he directed at one woman.

AlexaShutUp · 09/03/2021 18:35

Brilliant! Good for Alex Beresford, I say...someone needed to call him out!

HettySunshine · 09/03/2021 18:36

Did you see the comments he made about one of the co-presenters' dress? It was like a scene straight out of Alan Partridge.

I don't watch usually but saw it on Twitter.

Yes! Flounced off so he can "claim" he told them to stuff it instead of getting canned.

People have been tearing her apart here too...
ShirleyPhallus · 09/03/2021 18:38

Omg excellent!! About time too!

Odious little twat

AgnesNaismith · 09/03/2021 18:38

I believe he was being more and more obnoxious over the last few months so that he can leave and be poached by Andrew Neil.

TinySongstress · 09/03/2021 18:40

He won't miss a meal. 🤷🏻‍♀️
