Is Piers Morgan quitting Good Morning Britain? Controversial host says 'never again'
Despite flaunting the ratings rise he has achieved with his co-host Susanna Reid, Piers Morgan has worried fans by hinting he is leaving the breakfast show forever.
While many love to hate him, it appears still more tune in to see his explosive rows with politicians and celebrities, as well as his on-screen chemistry with Susanna Reid, who is often referred to as the most patient woman on television.
Before he went on his summer break, the presenter said: “Can’t say too much. But look at this face, happy face. Got out of bed at 3:45 today, oh it felt good.
“Do you know why it felt good? Never again. Ever. Never getting out of bed at 3:45 again.”
Many took this to mean that he is leaving the show:
@piersmorgan I really hope the rumours you've quit #GMB are not true. The chemistry with u & @susannareid100 is why I watch. #dontquit ����
