Piers Morgan announces ITV comeback just over a week after storming off GMB set

Controversial presenter Piers Morgan has announced his return to ITV after his spectacular departure from Good Morning Britain.

The former co-host left the breakfast show after apparently being told to apologise for comments made about Meghan Markle after her interview with Oprah Winfrey.

Bristol Live reports how the episode of GMB in which he made his comments sparked the most complaints to regulator Ofcom in TV history.

Piers stormed off the GMB set after being confronted about his behaviour by Alex Beresford.

But former newspaper editor Piers took to Twitter to point out he will be returning to ITV very soon.

He posted: "Reports of my ITV demise have been greatly exaggerated.... I’m back already."

He then shared details of the broadcast of his upcoming interview with Coleen Nolan.

Piers Morgan's Life Stories with Coleen will be aired tonight (March 18) on ITV at 9pm.

Since Pier's exit from GMB, Alex Beresford has released a statement about the pair's spat live on air.

He said he "didn't want him to quit, but did want him to listen".

Following the row, Piers wished Alex "good luck".
