Piers Morgan makes shock return to GMB for first time in four years

His last appearance on the show was the most complained about show in Ofcom history

Morgan's last appearance on ITV's flagship morning show was back in 2021, when he stormed off after claiming he did not believe Meghan Markle's claims in her interview with Oprah Winfrey.

The episode became the most complained about show in Ofcom history with more than 54,000 complaints received.

The watchdog later ruled that it was not in breach of their code, but that Morgan had said "potentially harmful and offensive" comments.

However, Morgan made his return to GMB today (Monday, 3 March).

The 59-year-old appeared on the panel alongside Susanna Reid and Ed Balls to discuss US President Donald Trump.

He began his appearance by addressing things head on: "Hang on, are we just going to ignore the fact I haven't been here for 1,453 days?"

Morgan then went on to attempt to give Reid a hug, which she rejected.

Balls was kinder to the former presenter and took up his offer: "We don't mind hugging."

Morgan added that Reid "moved on so fast", to which she responded: "I've got a couple of new husbands now."

Actually discussing the topic of Trump, Morgan said he had been in an "upbeat mood" when he spoke to the President ahead of his clash with Ukrainian leader Zelenskyy.

"I've had screaming matches with him, literally, and then an hour later, we're laughing and joking, doing a fun interview.

"So I always think with him, focus on what he does, not what he says, or the general drama and chaos.

"And secondly, understand that this is almost uniquely in modern times, a Republican president in America who wants peace, not war."
