Jeremy Kyle to replace Piers Morgan as he takes break from TalkTV show

Jeremy Kyle will replace Piers Morgan on his Uncensored TalkTV show - as he takes a break from the programme.

Piers will be off air for a few weeks in August to film his documentaries and other shows, with Jeremy set to take on the reigns in the meantime. Piers will return to the show on Monday, 5th September.

Jeremy will take over the show from Monday, 1st August, which is broadcasted on TalkTV in the UK, Fox Nation in the US and on Sky News Australia, for a total of five weeks whilst Piers turns his hand to true crime documentaries.

Speaking about his replacement, Piers joked about Jeremy's presenting prowess, adding: "I can imagine no finer broadcaster to keep my seat warm. Well, I can, but they weren’t available. I’m sure he’ll do his best."

Jeremy also made a joke at Piers' expense, as he added: "It is an honour and a privilege to take the helm on Uncensored while Piers is away. He is the pre-eminent broadcaster of his generation. At least that’s what he told me to say.

"I’m looking forward to keeping his audiences in the UK, US, Australia and beyond informed, entertained and engaged with the best guests, the most challenging interviews and plenty of fun."

Piers moved to TalkTV following his abrupt exit from Good Morning Britain, where he quit the show following an on air row with weather presenter Alex Beresford over Meghan Markle's interview with Oprah Winfrey.

Since joining TalkTV, Piers has interviewed the likes of Donald Trump and Ukrainian President Zelensky and his wife First Lady Olena Zelenska. He has also chatted with fellow TalkTV star Sharon Osbourne and Sex Pistols' Johnny Rotten.

One of his first interviews was with Donald Trump, who branded him a "fool" and stormed out of their sit down chat.

Speaking about their chat, he said at the time: "But things took a dramatic downward turn when I finally brought up his refusal to accept defeat in 2020 and the appalling scenes on January 6.

"I told him I believe he lost the supposedly ‘rigged, stolen’ election, I repeatedly pointed out his failure to produce any evidence of the widespread voter fraud he insists occurred to rob him of his presidency, and I blamed his refusal to admit defeat for the deadly riots at the Capitol. Then you’re a FOOL!' he sneered. 'And you haven’t studied!'"
