Piers Morgan claims he has been approached about Good Morning Britain return

Piers Morgan has claimed ITV has approached him about returning to the Good Morning Britain presenter's chair.

The TV presenter and former newspaper editor left ITV's flagship morning show after comments he made about the Duchess of Sussex.

Piers, 56, claims there has been contact from a third party about him returning to Good Morning Britain. The show has reportedly suffered a drop in viewers since Piers departed.

He told The Sun: “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.”

ITV has been contacted for comment, reports Press Association.

Piers said he did not believe what Meghan, Duchess of Sussex said during her headline-making interview with Oprah Winfrey.

The duchess said she was ignored when raising concerns about her mental health and that racist comments had been made before the birth of her son, Archie.

It later emerged Meghan made a formal complaint to ITV about Piers.
