Piers Morgan has said he wants to “uncancel those who have been cancelled” and branded his departure from ITV last year a “farce”. He made the comments as he prepares to launch fledgling news channel TalkTV.
Piers left ITV last year, after storming off the set of Good Morning Britain when he said he did not believe Meghan Markle’s claims from her Oprah Winfrey interview. His comments sparked more than 50,000 complaints - the most in Ofcom’s history - but the watchdog ruled that Good Morning Britain was not in breach of the broadcasting code over Morgan’s controversial comments.
TalkTV will launch with shows from Morgan, Sharon Osbourne and Tom Newton Dunn on Monday April 25. Speaking as the channel was announced he said: “I thought the whole thing was a farce and I’m delighted that actually, as a result of the farce, we’ve ended up with a whole network which is now dedicated to preventing that kind of farce from recurring."
