Good Morning Britain viewers are still longing for Piers Morgan to return, despite it being almost five months since he left.
Piers, 56, quit his role on the ITV breakfast show in March following a heated on air discussion with Alex Beresford regarding his comments about Meghan Markle.
The former journalist was very vocal about Meghan and Prince Harry's explosive interview with Oprah Winfrey earlier this year, and accused the US actress of lying.
On March 9, Piers announced he had quit GMB and Ofcom launched an investigation into the remarks Piers made about the Duchess of Sussex's mental health after receiving 41,015 complaints.
The regulator confirmed days later that mum-of-two Meghan herself had complained as well. She also complained directly to ITV's CEO about his comments.
However, Piers still has a large fan base and many tuning into Good Morning Britain miss his interview style and his ability to grill guests on the show.
One fan tweeted: "Piers I would love for you to go back please. Had to put up with Richard Madeley and worst of all, Alistair campbell. Please go back to #GMB."
Another posted: "I wonder what #GMB would be like right now if you were on? A missed opportunity, Piers and I'm backing you here, which is unusual."
A third asked him on Twitter : "You coming back? When I heard about this book release,I was thinking piers should be the 1 on #GMB calling out the guy who wants privacy but makes money by attacking his own family," referring to the recent Prince Harry news.
On Tuesday Piers fuelled speculation that he could return to the ITV breakfast show when he shared a recent magazine cover that asked if he and Holly Willoughby could 'save GMB'.
Piers wrote alongside the picture: "Well now..." followed by the inspecting face emoji.
In May, he claimed that ITV wanted him back as a host on the show despite the Meghan Markle drama.
Speaking in his first newspaper interview since the drama, Piers claimed that ITV have been in touch.
"They reached out - there have been approaches. Never say never," he revealed.
"I have no doubt I could take the ratings back to where I left them - but the doubt is, would anyone be allowed to do it that way again?
"I was hired to give very strong, honestly held opinions, which I did. But in the end I was asked to apologise for a genuinely held opinion," he told The Sun.
Piers continued: "I have had some quite random third-party feelers put out to see if I would consider a return to the show.
"I don’t want to say on the record who, but a pretty close third-party . . .
"As the Americans say, they reached out - there have been approaches to test the water in the wake of their obvious ratings issues.
"It makes me sad to see all the hard work we did to beat the BBC in viewing numbers evaporate so fast. It’s their problem to work out . . . but never say never," the outspoken star said.
Good Morning Britain airs weekdays at 6am on ITV.
