Piers Morgan confirms GMB colleague is joining him at TalkTV

Piers Morgan will be back on television broadcasting daily to the UK, Australia and the US on talkTV starting in the spring.

The broadcaster said his new show will include opinion, debate and big interviews.

He also announced a staff member he worked with on Good Morning Britain will also be joining the show.

The 56-year-old presenter appeared on the BBC's new current affairs programme Sunday Morning to review the papers.

Talking to Sophie Raworth about his upcoming show on talkTV, Mr Morgan said: "I am launching a new global daily TV show for Rupert Murdoch's news corporation in America, starting in the spring.

"It will air daily in the UK, daily in the US and in Australia daily as well so I will be a tri-continental irritant which is something I have been aspiring to be for quite some time.

"It's going to be opinion, debate, big interviews, so if you've missed me on morning TV, I'm sorry but I'll be back very soon.

"If you haven't missed me, I'm not sorry."

Mr Morgan departed the ITV breakfast show last year after he said he did not believe the Duchess of Sussex's claims about her mental health, made during her headline-grabbing interview with Oprah Winfrey.

The broadcast was the most complained-about TV episode of 2021, prompting 54,595 complaints to the media watchdog.

Mr Morgan said: "I haven't been on breakfast television for nearly a year ... My one question is, am I allowed to have an opinion, because that was the problem before."

And in a retweet, Mr Morgan revealed his GMB colleague will be joining him.

As Kate Garraway and Ben Shepherd said their goodbyes, Mr Morgan added on Twitter: "Another great signing for TalkTV… the best floor manager in the business… welcome aboard Tim."
