Piers Morgan has officially announced his return to Good Morning Britain, marking his first appearance on the show since his dramatic departure nearly four years ago. 

The outspoken TV presenter took to social media on Sunday to share the news, confirming that he would be back on the morning program alongside Susanna Reid and Ed Balls.

A Surprising Comeback

Morgan’s return comes as a major surprise to fans, given the controversy surrounding his exit in March 2021. Announcing the news on X (formerly Twitter), he wrote:

“BREAKING: It’s been nearly 4yrs (1,453 days to be precise!) since I departed GMB rather hastily…

but tomorrow morning, for the first time, I’m going back. I’ll be on with @susannareid100 & @edballs at 8.15am.”

The return of the journalist and TV personality is set to be a significant moment for Good Morning Britain, which he co-hosted for several years before his abrupt departure.

Why Piers Morgan Left Good Morning Britain

Morgan’s exit from the show followed a heated on-air argument with weather presenter Alex Beresford regarding Meghan Markle and Prince Harry’s interview with Oprah Winfrey. Morgan had been openly critical of Meghan’s claims about her mental health struggles, leading to a clash with Beresford, who accused him of persistently attacking the Duchess of Sussex.

The exchange escalated quickly, with Morgan walking off the set mid-broadcast. In the aftermath, more than 40,000 complaints were filed with the media regulator, prompting ITV to address the controversy. Shortly after, the broadcaster released an official statement confirming Morgan’s departure, stating that the decision had been mutually agreed upon.

Following his resignation, Morgan stood by his views and took to social media to reaffirm his stance. He wrote:

“On Monday, I said I didn’t believe Meghan Markle in her Oprah interview. I’ve had time to reflect on this opinion, and I still don’t. If you did, OK. Freedom of speech is a hill I’m happy to die on. Thanks for all the love, and hate. I’m off to spend more time with my opinions.”

Life After Good Morning Britain

Since leaving the show, Morgan has remained a prominent figure in the media, launching his own program, Piers Morgan Uncensored, which provides a platform for his often controversial opinions on global events, politics, and entertainment. Despite parting ways with Good Morning Britain, he has maintained strong relationships with several of his former colleagues, including Susanna Reid.

His continued friendship with Reid was evident when he attended Good Morning Britain’s 10th-anniversary celebration in April 2024. Sharing a nostalgic post on Instagram, he reflected on his time on the show, posting side-by-side images from his first and last day as a host, accompanied by the caption:

“Happy 10th anniversary to @gmb – I spent five fun, eventful years there, and loved every minute. Here’s a picture of me on my first (April 13, 2015) and last (March 9, 2021) day… divorce is never easy!”

Morgan has also continued to engage with his former co-stars outside of work. In December 2024, he hosted his annual Christmas party at the Scarsdale Tavern in Kensington, where several Good Morning Britain presenters, including Susanna Reid, Kate Garraway, Charlotte Hawkins, Richard Madeley, and Laura Tobin, were in attendance.

What to Expect from His Return

Morgan’s upcoming appearance on Good Morning Britain is likely to attract significant attention, given his history with the show. While it remains unclear whether his return is a one-time event or a potential stepping stone to a more regular role, fans will undoubtedly be eager to see how the reunion unfolds.

His return could also reignite discussions about the circumstances of his departure and whether he has any regrets about his past actions. Given his unapologetic nature, it is unlikely that Morgan will backtrack on his previous remarks, but his presence on the show may offer an opportunity for him to address lingering tensions with his former colleagues.

Whether viewers welcome him back with open arms or continue to challenge his controversial opinions, one thing is certain—Piers Morgan’s return to Good Morning Britain will be anything but quiet.
