PIERS Morgan is set to host a new television show.
The Newick-born presenter will be back on screen in the spring as part of as new daily talkTV show which will be broadcasting in the UK, Australia and the US.
Piers has not appeared on TV since he left Good Morning Britain in March.
The 56-year-old has said his new show will include opinion, debate and big interviews.
He returned to screen on the BBC’s new current affairs programme Sunday Morning to review the papers.
Talking to Sophie Raworth about his upcoming show on talkTV, Piers said: “I am launching a new global daily TV show for Rupert Murdoch’s news corporation in America, starting in the spring.
“It will air daily in the UK, daily in the US and in Australia daily as well so I will be a tri-continental irritant which is something I have been aspiring to be for quite some time.
“It’s going to be opinion, debate, big interviews, so if you’ve missed me on morning TV, I’m sorry but I’ll be back very soon.
“If you haven’t missed me, I’m not sorry.”
Piers departed the ITV breakfast show last year after he said he did not believe the Duchess of Sussex’s claims about her mental health, which were made during an interview with Oprah Winfrey.
The broadcast was the most complained-about TV episode of 2021 - prompting 54,595 complaints to media watchdog Ofcom.
The Sun columnist added: “I haven’t been on breakfast television for nearly a year. My one question is, am I allowed to have an opinion, because that was the problem before.”
Piers was also the fourth most searched-for person on Google in the UK last year, beating Alec Baldwin, who was fifth, and rapper Travis Scott, sixth - both of whom are facing lawsuits in the US.
