TV personality and journalist Piers Morgan is set to return to screens a year after his controversial exit from Good Morning Britain. The presenter stormed off the ITV show in March 2021 after he clashed with weatherman Alex Beresford over Meghan Markle.
Morgan had said he didn’t ‘believe a word’ the Duchess of Sussex said in an interview with Oprah Winfrey - sparking a record 58,000 complaints to Ofcom. He was told by ITV bosses to apologise but decided to quit instead.

Now Morgan is about to launch his first TV programme since the row. Piers Morgan Uncensored will air on the new TalkTV channel in the UK - as well as being screened in the US and Australia.
TalkTV is part of Rupert Murdoch's News UK empire and will feature live chat and news debate. Morgan’s new show will air weeknights and he has promised it will ‘annoy all the right people’.
Former US President Donald Trump is Morgan’s first guest and their chat has been dubbed ‘the most explosive interview of the year’. But the episode has already proved controversial after Trump claimed a promo clip had been ‘doctored’ to make it look like he had walked out.
The channel will go live on Monday (April 25) at 7pm, with Piers Morgan Uncensored launching at 8pm the same day. Other presenters set to have shows on TalkTV include Jeremy Kyle, political journalist Tom Newton-Dunn, Sharon Osborne and politician Richard Tice.
TalkTV will be available to watch for free in various ways and the channel number will depend on your provider. Viewers can find it on Sky 526, Virgin Media 627, Freeview 237 and Freesat 217.
It will also be on streaming platforms Amazon Fire TV, Apple TV and
