Piers Morgan made a surprising return to Good Morning Britain after nearly four years since his departure from ITV due to controversial remarks about the Duchess of Sussex. The 59-year-old once again shared the screen with former co-host Susanna Reid and Ed Balls to discuss his recent conversation with US President Donald Trump. Morgan didn’t waste any time before pointing out the significant number of days he had been absent from the show, humorously remarking, “Hang on, are we just going to ignore the fact I haven’t been here for 1,453 days?”
During the show, there were some light-hearted moments as Morgan attempted to give Reid a hug, only to be rejected, with Reid jokingly saying, “No, I don’t want a hug.” Former MP Ed Balls then stepped in, offering to hug Morgan instead. Morgan also playfully teased Reid about quickly moving on to new co-presenters, to which she jokingly replied, “I’ve got a couple of new husbands now.” The banter continued with Balls joining in and Reid asserting her no-hug policy.

The interview concluded with light-hearted banter between Morgan, Reid, and Balls about attire choices and Reid directing Morgan to the exit door, referencing his previous dramatic exit from the show.
Notably, the episode of Good Morning Britain that Morgan stormed off from in his previous stint has become the most complained about show in Ofcom history, with over 54,000 complaints registered. The Duchess of Sussex herself lodged a formal complaint with ITV regarding Morgan’s comments. Despite this, the media watchdog ruled that the show did not breach broadcasting regulations, although it was noted that Morgan’s remarks were considered “potentially harmful and offensive.
