It’s been a matter of weeks since the Rupert Murdoch-owned news channel TalkTV launched and already its main star, Piers Morgan, has managed to make himself one the most talked-about men in the country once again.
The 57-year-old kicked off his new show Piers Morgan Uncensored in explosive style with an exclusive interview with Donald Trump, which concluded with the former POTUS clearly furious, accusing Piers of being ‘dishonest’ as he left the set.
Piers knows all about leaving sets in a temper. He famously marched out of a live recording of ITV’s Good Morning Britain following an on-air row with weather presenter Alex Beresford concerning comments the Duchess of Sussex made during her and Harry’s tell-all interview with Oprah Winfrey.
He was given the option to apologise or leave the show. He chose the latter, refusing to bow down to what he calls ‘the woke brigade’.
Piers says, ‘I used to think I was uncensored, and then of course when I left Good Morning Britain it turned out that I actually was being censored in the sense that I was told I had to apologise for disbelieving Princess Pinocchio or I would have to leave the building. So I took the leave-the-building option. It was a sad moment for me, for the show... I wasn’t expecting a carriage clock but I didn’t expect to be escorted out the building.’
Bereft fans started a ‘Bring Piers Back’ campaign, but he stuck by his guns and has spent the past year preparing for his big comeback.
