'Lucky' Piers Morgan makes ITV return with just 'one regret' about GMB departure

Piers Morgan has been dubbed the 'luckiest man ever' by ITV's Lorraine Kelly, as he reveals he has only 'one regret' after storming off the Good Morning Britain set in 2021.

As Piers appeared on Scottish TV host Lorraine Kelly's self-titled show, she noted him as: "the man who could fall into the River Clyde, come out not only bone-dry but with two salmon in your pocket!"

And after his walk-off on Good Morning Britain in March 2021, Lorraine asked the former ITV star if he regretted any of his previous actions.

Lorraine asked Piers: "Do you regret that Piers? Do you regret the way it happened and the fact it happened?"

The controversial TV personality replied: "Let me be clear. I only regret that ITV tried to make me apologise for something that I genuinely believe.

"I didn't believe most of what was coming out of Meghan Markle's mouth."

The 57-year-old also added: " "I was precisely hired to host that show because of my strong opinions."

Fans of the ITV show took to social media to discuss their divided opinion over the TV personality, with one Twitter user writing: "You can't get any more marmite than #piersmorgan #Lorraine"

Another expressed their excitement at seeing Piers, saying: "@piersmorgan is on [fire] on #lorraine love it, looking forward to his new talk show. I have missed this."

Another disagreed, writing: "It’s funny, because I said Piers Morgan makes a living out of being nasty to people and he blocked me. He can’t stand any criticism yet he dishes it out in spades. The man is an utter a*******. #lorraine"

A fourth added: "So now it’s a trend for people with highly offensive views to switch the narrative and claim they’re a victim of cancel culture. Putin/Piers I’m looking at you #lorraine #PiersMorgan"

More comments were in complete division, with one writing: "Piers is just a talking head g******* #lorraine", and another said: "Gotta say, Piers Morgan is correct in what he’s saying. #lorraine".

Piers is currently gearing up for the launch of his own new show, Piers Uncensored.

Lorraine resumes on Friday, April 22 on ITV from 9am onwards.
