Piers Morgan has broken his silence over rumours he could replace Phillip Schofield on This Morning.
Former GMB star Piers, 58, has spoken previously of his friendship with Holly Willoughby, so fans have speculated this could spark his big ITV comeback, the Mirror reports. Piers quit his ITV show in 2021 after making a series of controversial comments about Meghan Markle.

Taking to Twitter, Piers shared a photo of himself and Holly and tweeted: "Thanks to everyone suggesting I might replace Philip Schofield at This Morning in a Lazarus-like comeback to ITV. Unfortunately, there’s just one problem: I still don’t believe a single word Meghan Markle says!"
Schofield, 61, will not return to co-host the morning talk show, with Thursday’s programme being his last. However, Willoughby will remain on This Morning and will co-present with members of the This Morning family, ITV have confirmed.
It comes amid a reported 'feud' between the pair with tensions said to have been strained over the last few weeks. Schofield's brother, Timothy Schofield, 54, was jailed for 12 years this month after being convicted of child sex offences.
In an announcement to his fans, Phil said that he was stepping down in a bid to “protect the show that I love."
