Piers Morgan is sure Meghan Markle celebrated GMB exit but brags he's popular now

Cheeky Piers Morgan was confident Meghan Markle had celebrated his departure from Good Morning Britain.

Sensationally Piers quit Good Morning Britain just hours after he stormed off set over a row about Meghan and he refused to apologise.

In good humour, the presenter quipped he was sure the Duchess of Sussex had been joyous over his exit and joked she may have enjoyed "crystal bashing" when she heard the news.

But Piers vowed the battle between them was far from over in the spotlight and he insisted Meghan would be in for a "big shock" if she thought she had "won".

In fact, the TV star was bragging he was "more popular" than ever before following his public attacks on her.

In his Daily Mail column, he wrote: "Well I am sure she had a wonderful, joyous series of venti latte celebrations or crystal bashing, whatever they do over there when she heard."

He added: "She thinks she’s beaten me? She might be in for a surprise, because I suspect I’ll be back soon.

"If Meghan thinks she has cancelled me or won the battle, she's in for a big shock. I've never been more popular."
