BEVERLY HILLS, March 10, (THEWILL) – After quitting Good Morning Britain Show in a hail of criticisms, Piers Morgan has stated that he stands by his criticism of the Duchess of Sussex, Meghan Markle as the Good Morning Britain show aired for the first time after his departure.
It was revealed on Tuesday that Morgan would exit the show after saying he “didn’t believe a word” Meghan revealed in her interview with Oprah Winfrey.
Speaking about his exit, co-host, Susanna Reid, stated that she did not agree with his comments, and added: “Shows go on.”
It is still yet unclear who will replace Morgan on the GMB and Ranvir Singh, who was occupying his seat on Wednesday, said: “We don’t call him Marmite for nothing”.
However, in a tweet Wednesday, Morgan said: “On Monday, I said I didn’t believe Meghan Markle in her Oprah interview. I’ve had time to reflect on this opinion, and I still don’t.”
He added: “Freedom of speech is a hill I’m happy to die on.”
THEWILL had earlier reported that Morgan had stormed off the set after a discussion with his colleague, Alex Beresford over Meghan Markle.
Reacting, an emotional Reid told viewers there are “many voices” on the morning show and “everyone has their say,” adding that “some of you may cheer and others may boo” Morgan’s departure.
She said: “He has been my presenting partner, Monday to Wednesday, for more than five years and during Brexit and the pandemic and other issues, he has been a voice for many of you and a voice that many of you have railed against.
“It is certainly going to be very different but shows go on and so on we go.”
