Piers Morgan

[Theblip]

Piers has long been a divisive character, but I’m among those who think him a brilliant broadcaster who’s compelling to watch. Ironically, I reckon quitting the way he did plays into the hands of Meghan who he so disapproves of. But I don’t think he enjoyed the early mornings anyway. I will struggle to watch GMB without Piers as the rest of their presenting team aren’t a patch on him. The only person I consider capable of filling his massive shoes is Jeremy Clarkson, and I doubt any money would persuade him. I’d like to see the sycophantic Lorraine Kelly finally get a long overdue axing, and Piers given her slot on his own. What do you think?

[Mozz71]

Personally, if I ever see him on TV again, it'll be too soon. He'll crop up on TV again I'm sure. I don't know if he's left ITV wholesale or if he's just left GMB, so he may still have Life Stories.

I think he might join one of the new internet news programmes like Spectator TV or GB News.

[ummmm]

If the tabloids are to be believed he's been inundated with job offers.

[Theblip]

If GMB go the PC woke route and put Alex Beresford in Piers’ place, viewing figures will go through the floor not the roof

[Theland]

Andrew Neil for 60 Minutes on Spectator TV would snap him up.

[Theblip]

He will remain mainstream, not on to obscure outlets

[Mozz71]

Why would Beresford be "PC woke"? Because he's black?

Regardless, he's a weatherman, thus wholly unsuitable for a presenting/interviewing role. They should employ an actual journalist, or at least a presenter with a history of serious television interviewing.

[tamaris]

Totally agree with you.

[tamaris]

The blip that is

[Smowball]

Completely agree about Lorraine Kelly. How she’s kept that job slot for so long god knows!!

[murraymints]

team Piers 100%

[tamaris]

The giggling sycophant Kelly, should be axed.

[ummmm]

I'd hardly call her a sycophant. They tend to brown nose one person.

[Deskdiary]

Like him or loathe him, GMB without him will simply become showbiz gossip and competitions with a bit of news thrown in.

Every single one of the current presenters, and I include Susanna Reid, is lightweight.

[dannyk13]

Margan is like Marmite, you either love him or hate him.Personally I can't stand him.

I agree entirely with you OP.

[Arrods]

Andrea Maclean (ex weatherperson) didn’t do too badly presenting Loose Women. But I agree that the other bloke wouldn’t make a good presenter.

[eve1974]

Like or loathe him but the show will not be the same! What I find the worst tho is that Meghan (allegedly) complained direct to itv .... she can’t take any criticism can she?!

[emmie]

no she can't take criticism seemingly
