Piers Morgan leaves Good Morning Britain

Piers Morgan has left his presenting role on ITV's Good Morning Britain after controversial comments he made about the Duchess of Sussex sparked over 40,000 complaints and an Ofcom investigation.

In Harry and Meghan's interview with Oprah Winfrey, Meghan said she felt like she 'didn't want to be alive anymore.'

In a discussion of the interview, Morgan said he 'didn't believe a word' of it, which upset thousands of viewers.

Since the comments were made on Good Morning Britain, ITV's Chief Executive Dame Carolyn McCall released a statement saying GMB is a 'balanced show' and added 'ITV has many voices and we try and represent many voices every day. It's not about one opinion.'

Sky's Lucy Cotter has the latest.
