Why did Piers quit GMB?
It was announced last night (March 9, 2021) that Piers had quit GMB.
It came after he received over 41,000 complaints to TV regulator Ofcom after Monday morning’s show, where he said that he didn’t believe Meghan’s claims she’d suffered with her mental health and been suicidal.
He stormed off set during a huge row with his GMB co-star Alex Beresford after he criticised his reaction to Meghan’s comments.

He dramatically resigned after senior execs said they wanted him to say sorry on air following his heated clash with the show’s weather presenter.
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.”
