Piers Morgan left award show attendees speechless when he unexpectedly praised his nemesis Meghan Markle in his acceptance speech after he won Interview of the Year for his interview with football legend Cristiano Ronaldo. The former Good Morning Britain host, 58, took home the coveted gong during Tuesday's (June 27) TRIC awards ceremony at London's Grosvenor House.
As reported by the Mirror, after mocking TV rival Dan Walker in his acceptance speech Piers then moved on to the Duchess of Sussex, making reference to his long-running public feud with the American wife of Prince Harry. While he 'thanked' Meghan in his acceptance speech, Piers' tribute came with a bitter sting as he joked about losing his job at Good Morning Britain after viciously mocking the Duchess' explosive Oprah Winfrey tell-all interview back in March 2021.
Piers stepped down from his role as host alongside Susanna Reid when thousands of ITV viewers complained to Ofcom about his 'misogynistic' and damaging comments about Meghan after she claimed that she was suffering from suicidal thoughts and was dealing with racism while being in the Royal family. After a heated argument with fellow Good Morning Britain star Alex Beresford, where a raging Piers walked off the ITV set, he soon stepped down from his role as host but moved to TalkTV shortly afterwards.
