Piers Morgan latest LIVE – Dramatic Meghan Markle racism row with Alex Beresford see fans urge GMB to SACK host

GOOD Morning Britain bosses have been urged to sack Piers Morgan after he stormed off set live on air

Piers had a dramatic row with GMB co-host Alex Beresford this morning over his reaction Meghan Markle’s bombshell suicide and racism comments during her interview with Oprah Winfrey.

Alex spoke calmly about his view on the royals’ bombshell Oprah interview, and criticised Piers for his coverage on the breakfast show yesterday.

“I understand that you don’t like Meghan Markle, you’ve made it so clear a number of times on this programme. I understand you’ve got a personal relationship with Meghan Markle, or had one and she cut you off,” he said.

“Has she said anything about you since she cut you off? I don’t think she has, but yet you continue to trash her,” Alex added.

The comments clearly touched a nerve as Piers dramatically stood up and stormed off set, saying said: “Okay, I’m done with this… I can’t do this”

Exasperated Alex responded: “Absolutely diabolical behaviour, I’m sorry but Piers spouts off on a regular basis and we all have to sit here and listen.

Piers has faced calls for his sacking following the outburst, with ITV boss Carolyn McCall refusing to deny he could lose his GMB job.

Earlier today a petition to sack Piers Morgan from GMB over his comments about Meghan had amassed more than 88,000 signatures.

Addressing the backlash, in particular Piers’ refusal to believe Meghan felt suicidal, Carolyn admitted: “We are dealing with that as we speak.”
