PIERS Morgan has said he still does not believe the Duchess of Sussex after quitting Good Morning Britain.

The Newick-born presenter left the ITV morning show following a backlash against his comments about Meghan and her interview with Oprah Winfrey.

ITV announced in a brief statement late on Tuesday that Piers was leaving the news programme.

Piers remained silent until late on Tuesday night when he posted a picture of himself with his late manager, John Ferriter.

He said: “Thinking of my late, great manager John Ferriter tonight. He’d have told me to do exactly the same thing.”

He added the hashtag #TrustYourGut.

This morning, the journalist said on Twitter that he still does not believe what Meghan said to the US chat show host.

He tweeted: “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.”

The brief statement was shared with a picture of Sir Winston Churchill captioned with his famous quote on free speech.

Susanna Reid said Good Morning Britain will be “very different” but “shows go on” as she addressed her co-host’s exit and referred to his often divisive presence.

On Tuesday morning, ITV chief executive Dame Carolyn McCall said the broadcaster’s managing director of media and entertainment, Kevin Lygo, had been in discussion with Piers regarding his coverage of the Harry and Meghan interview.

Speaking on a media call following the group’s annual results, which were published on Tuesday, Dame Carolyn insisted Good Morning Britain is a “balanced show”, saying: “ITV has many voices and we try and represent many voices every day. It’s not about one opinion.”

On Morgan’s comments saying he did not believe the Duchess of Sussex, she said: “I completely believe what she (Meghan) said. It’s important everyone does.”

According to the Telegraph, Meghan has submitted a formal complaint to ITV following Morgan’s comments.

The paper said a spokesman for the broadcaster “refused to deny” the reports.

ITV said it would not comment.

Ofcom also announced on Tuesday that it is investigating comments Morgan made about the interview.

The watchdog received more than 41,000 complaints about his remarks on Monday’s Good Morning Britain.
