Meghan Markle's dad Thomas to appear on Good Morning Britain hours after Oprah interview airs

Piers Morgan has revealed that Meghan Markle's dad Thomas will appear on Good Morning Britain on Tuesday, hours after his daughter's much publicised interview with Oprah Winfrey has aired in the UK.

The tell all chat has already made headlines across the world thanks to the revelations made by former Suits actress Meghan and husband Prince Harry.

The interview with Oprah fulfilled ts promise of 'nothing being off limits' with the revelations made in it including Harry and Meghan accusing the Royal Family of racism and revealing they were actually married before their Windsor Castle wedding.

Piers was very vocal with his thoughts on the interview on Monday's GMB, with him accusing Harry and Meghan of indulging in a " two hour trash-a-thon" of the Royal Family.

He fumed: "I’m angry to the point of boiling over. I’m sickened by what I’ve just seen. This is a two hour trash-a-thon of our monarchy and royal family.

"They trash everybody! They basically make out everybody in the royal family is a white supremacist. I just don’t think that’s acceptable."

Thomas Markle has appeared on GMB before (ITV)

Meghan's father Thomas and mother Doria Ragland separated when she was just six, and while she is still incredibly close with her mum, her relationship with her dad is very fraught, with him and half sister Samantha Markle, selling stories and doing interviews on her in the lead up to her wedding to Prince Harry and afterwards.

And Thomas, who has made numerous appearances on UK TV over the years, will be back in the spotlight on Tuesday after Piers took to Twitter on Monday to announce: "Meghan Markle trashed her dad on US TV today.

"On tomorrow's @GMB Thomas Markle will give his first exclusive interview in response."

His followers were quick to react, with the post being retweeted hundreds of times in a matter of minutes.

One responded: "Go on piers! LEGEND," but others had a go at the presenter for his constant criticism of Meghan, with one tweeting: "Bullying a pregnant woman is low even by your standards. Getting her father on to GMB to slate her for her giving the interview to Oprah is vile"

Oprah With Meghan and Harry is on ITV at 9pm on Monday March 8. You can watch the full interview afterwards on the ITV hub.
