Daily Mirror executives are a trifle anxious about Piers Morgan's imminent return to the paper that he was sacked from nearly five years ago after winning a charity auction. As Monkey has already reported, Morgan, now better known as a judge on Britain's Got Talent, paid £12,000 to return to the Mirror, outbidding his replacement, Richard Wallace, in the process during a charity auction in aid of Leukaemia Research last May. Morgan himself was delighted to pop up on the This Morning sofa on ITV1 this week to boast that he will return to edit the Mirror in the "next couple of weeks". Morgan, who was sacked after running fake pictures showing British troops abusing Iraqi prisoners, has previously told friends he plans a front page splash saying: "I'm not sorry." Alas, the reality might be somewhat different. A Daily Mirror spokesman said: "Contrary to erroneous reports elsewhere no date has been set and Piers will be visiting rather than 'editing' the Daily Mirror when a date is finally set."
