Dan Walker had the best response to Piers Morgan leaving Good Morning Britain
After briefly walking out of Good Morning Britain today, Piers Morgan has now walked out of the ITV breakfast show for good in the wake of the row over his criticism of Meghan Markle.
ITV said Morgan had ‘decided now is the time to leave Good Morning Britain’ and said it had ‘accepted this decision and has nothing further to add’.
His departure followed the news that Ofcom has launched an investigation into Morgan’s comments after receiving more than 41,000 complaints.
There was no shortage of comment about Morgan’s departure, as you might imagine …
Even if the only thing the Oprah interview accomplishes is Piers Morgan quitting his show, that will still be a win.

So in less than a fortnight Meghan’s forced the Daily Mail to do a front page apology, pay damages, exposed the Royal Family to a global stage and P45’d Piers Morgan. Rah. Say what you want about American work ethic.

Considering how Alex Beresford dragged Piers Morgan to the afterlife, can’t say I blame Piers for quitting after this.

Looking forward to Piers Morgan, Andrew Neil and Nigel Farage's inevitable GB News talk show. I propose the name "Loose Gammon".

Piers Morgan’s pronouns are was/were

But our favourite response might be from his long-time breakfast TV rival, Dan Walker.
Morgan never missed an opportunity to troll his BBC counterpart and the pair were regularly trading blows on Twitter, but it was Walker who ended up having the last laugh.
Sorry to hear the news about your departure from GMB @piersmorgan
If you’d like to come on the UK’s number 1 breakfast show to talk about it… we could make some space for you in the morning 👍🏻

And it’s not even the first time Walker has owned Morgan today after the pair shared this exchange earlier. Just the best.
This was taken a few seconds before I stormed off set because Carol said it was going to be chilly this weekend 🥶 https://t.co/qR4m89NXJ3

I'm surprised BBC bosses didn't storm in and drag you off set after yesterday's ratings came in. https://t.co/q3ip93hpTW
— Piers Morgan (@piersmorgan) March 9, 2021
Congratulations on your ratings 👏🏻
Ours were good too.In other news… I hope my boss would have dragged me off set if I’d used my platform – on national TV – to tell a pregnant woman, speaking openly about suicidal thoughts, that I didn’t believe a word she said. https://t.co/IGX7PWM01U
