Piers Morgan warns he will seek ‘revenge’ on those who have criticised him

Piers Morgan has warned he will seek revenge on people who have publicly criticised him.

The ex Good Morning Britain host took to social media and stated ‘revenge is always a dish best tasted cold.”

Mr Morgan walked out of the GMB studio last week after comments about Meghan Markle.

He also became embroiled in a heated debate with former colleague Alex Beresford who branded him ‘diabolical’.

News broke soon after that he had quit his post after comments regarding the Duchess of Sussex had received more than 40,000 Ofcom complaints.

This prompted an investigation into whether his comments broke the UK broadcasting code.

Since leaving the show, he has been extremely vocal, refusing to back down or apologise.

Now he has spoken out at those who have criticised him.

Taking to social media, Piers said: "I never miss a thing. And revenge is always a dish best tasted cold."

He added: “Memo to all high-profile, insufferably woke, unctuously virtue-signalling, shamefully race-baiting hypocrites: I'm watching, and I will retaliate.”

It is understood a formal complaint was lodged with ITV on behalf of Meghan Markle following the broadcast of the interview with Oprah Winfrey.

The remarks provoked a backlash, and it is understood that ITV executives wanted Morgan to apologise for them on-air.

An ITV spokesperson said: "Following discussions with ITV, Piers Morgan has decided now is the time to leave Good Morning Britain. ITV has accepted this decision and has nothing further to add.”

He is expected to continue at ITV in some capacity following his departure from Good Morning Britain.
