Susanna Reid pays tribute to ‘outspoken and disruptive’ Piers Morgan after his shock GMB exit

SUSANNA Reid paid tribute to her “outspoken, opinionated, and disruptive” former co-star after his shock GMB exit on today’s show.

Ranvir Singh said that she was glad to be there to support Susanna throughout the show as his replacement, saying: “It can’t be easy”.

Piers stormed off set during the huge row with his GMB co-star on Tuesday morning after Alex criticised for his reaction to Meghan’s claims she contemplated suicide and was racially abused by the royal family.

“Susanna will be here with me from 6.30am. We will be talking about what’s on your mind, I know what’s on your mind, we will get to it.”

Piers, 55, dramatically resigned after senior execs said they wanted him to say sorry on air following his heated clash with the show’s weatherman Alex Beresford over Meghan Markle.

He stormed off set during the huge row with his GMB co-star on Tuesday morning after Alex criticised for his reaction to Meghan’s claims she contemplated suicide and was racially abused by the royal family.

But Piers said he was not willing to apologise, and walked – bringing an immediate end to his six-year stint on the morning show.

In his first tweet since quitting he said: “Thinking of my late, great manager John Ferriter tonight. He’d have told me to do exactly the same thing. @GMB #TrustYourGut.”
