Eighteen months ago, Piers Morgan, famous for winding up anyone with a “woke” agenda, joked to a Royal Television Society conference of senior U.K. TV executives that he was “one vegan sausage-roll wrap from being fired.”
On Tuesday, after five years hosting flagship ITV show, “Good Morning Britain,” Morgan and ITV parted company. After losing his cool live on air during a row over Meghan Markle with a fellow presenter, Morgan stormed off set saying: “OK. I’m done with this.” He did return to complete the show, but the damage was done, and “Good Morning Britain” will continue minus its opinionated host.
