Piers Morgan has responded to calls for him to replace Phillip Schofield on This Morning after the presenter stepped down from his role of 20 years on Saturday, May 20. Phillip, who has co-hosted the show with Holly Willoughby since 2009, confirmed in a statement he was quitting the daytime programme explaining that "ITV has decided the current situation can’t go on."
It comes following rumours of a feud between himself and Holly and reports they were "barely speaking" off camera. Now, former Good Morning Britain presenter Piers has broken his silence to discuss whether a return to ITV is on the cards.
The 58-year-old famously stormed out of the GMB studio in 2021 and was later forced to quit after making a series of controversial comments about Meghan Markle. In his latest Twitter post, Piers shared a picture of himself with Holly on the ITV Palooza red carpet in 2019 and told his 8.4 million followers: "Thanks to everyone suggesting I might replace Philip Schofield at This Morning in a Lazarus-like comeback to ITV.
