Piers Morgan will 'have his say' and reveal truth about GMB exit after Meghan Markle complaint

Piers Morgan has revealed that he will tell all about his shock departure from Good Morning Britain following a complaint from Meghan Markle.

The 55-year-old TV host quit the ITV breakfast show on March 9 after he stormed off the set during a discussion with Alex Beresford about Meghan Markle's interview with Oprah Winfrey.

Taking to Twitter on Saturday morning, Piers shared a photo of the cover of The Mail On Sunday.

It read: "Piers Morgan The Real Truth. Breaking his silence on Meghan, Oprah, racism, the Royals, and quitting GMB - the explosive inside story you don't want to miss."

Piers wrote alongside it: "COMING TOMORROW... Everyone else has had their say, now I’ll have mine - only in the Mail on Sunday."

However, many Twitter users were quick to suggest that Piers has been anything but silent since he left GMB following thousands of Ofcom complaints.

Earlier this month, it was reported that Meghan, 39, lodged a formal complaint with ITV over Piers' comments about her and the explosive Oprah chat.

During GMB, Piers questioned Meghan's revelations about her mental health during her tell-all interview, saying: "I don't believe a word she says."

Despite Piers' personal remarks about Meghan, her complaint focused how his comments might affect those struggling with their own mental health, according to the PA news agency.

ITV declined to comment on the report, instead referring to their original statement when contacted by the Mirror.

But ITV's own Royal Editor Chris Ship tweeted that the complaint had been sent to the broadcaster's CEO.

He wrote: "So ... the Duchess of Sussex formally filed a complaint to ITV on Monday. It’s thought to have been sent to the broadcaster’s CEO.

"Meghan raised concerns about how @piersmorgan’s words affect the issue of mental health and what it might do to others contemplating suicide."

Amid the intense backlash, Piers resigned from his role with immediate effect hours after the live morning show was broadcast.

ITV bosses had asked Piers to apologise to Meghan during Tuesday's show but he refused, the Telegraph also reported.
