Piers Morgan has dropped a subtle hint that he may be moving over to Sky News following his shock decision to leave Good Morning Britain.
ITV confirmed last night that Piers had quit GMB following discussions with ITV over his comments about Meghan Markle 's interview with Oprah Winfrey.
After the announcement, Piers announced that he had "trusted his gut" and this morning defiantly said that he still did not believe the Duchess of Sussex had suffered from suicidal thoughts and that "freedom of speech is a hill [he] is happy to die on".
When asked where he's planning on sending out his CV to next, Piers joked: "What's the Sky money like at the moment?" before bursting out laughing.
Speaking outside his London home on Wednesday morning, Piers said he had not been "cancelled" by the "woke crowd" and will "re-emerge" from "temporary hibernation" following his departure from the ITV morning show.
“I think it’s fair to say, although the woke crowd will think that they’ve cancelled me, I think they will be rather disappointed when I re-emerge," he said. "I would call it a temporary hibernation.”
He added that he is “always in talks with people”.
He described his departure from the programme as “amicable”, adding: “I had a good chat with ITV and we agreed to disagree.
“I’m just going to take it easy and see how we go."
“I believe in freedom of speech, I believe in the right to be allowed to have an opinion. If people want to believe Meghan Markle, that’s entirely their right," he added.
Piers went on: “I don’t believe almost anything that comes out of her mouth and I think the damage she’s done to the British monarchy and to the Queen at a time when Prince Philip is lying in hospital is enormous and frankly contemptible.
"If I have to fall on my sword for expressing an honestly-held opinion about Meghan Markle and that diatribe of bilge that she came out with in that interview, so be it.”
