Piers Morgan made his long-awaited return to British TV Thursday morning — jokingly storming off the set in a move that mocked his dramatic exit last year during an on-air rant about Meghan Markle.
Appearing on ITV’s “Lorraine,” the journalist dished about his explosive interview with Donald Trump for his new show “Piers Uncensored,” prompting the former president to walk off set himself when Morgan grilled him about his claims of election fraud.
“We had a very heated debate about his repeated claim that he didn’t lose the last election,” Morgan, who described himself as “a very frustrated liberal” while insisting that he’s not a Republican, said Thursday morning.
“He has concocted a story with no evidence so far, that it was all fraudulent.”
However, Morgan’s heated debate did come with repercussions. Soon after airing the promo clip of his interview with Trump, outspoken Republican and wannabe politician Caitlyn Jenner was quick to pull the plug on her appearance on Morgan’s new show.
“She [Jenner] has now read the statement from Donald Trump saying this is a rigged promo, and called me ‘repulsive’ and canceled the interview,” Morgan added.
Over on Twitter, that she will no longer be appearing on Morgan’s new show, tweeting, “@piersmorgan I have just had my management cancel my appearance with you for this Wednesday because of your repulsive misconduct today.”
Also during his brief stint on “Lorraine,” Morgan blasted Prince Harry and Meghan Markle over the way they have handled their departure from the royal family.
“I think most British people now share my view about Meghan Markle, and indeed Prince Harry, whose behavior continues to be utterly deplorable,” Morgan said.
Morgan went on to slam that he’s “protecting” the Queen. “All he’s done is make the Queen’s life a misery,” he added.
“I think they want to create a rival renegade royal family, the two of them and their kids,” he added.
It was the first time in over a year that Morgan has appeared on ITV since his very abrupt exit from “Good Morning Britain” — when he stormed off set during an on-air spat with weatherman Alex Beresford over Markle.
Morgan mocked his own exit on “Lorraine” — jokingly fleeing the set while yelling, “I’m storming off! Never coming back here!”
He quit “Good Morning Britain” last year, a show he co-hosted since 2015, after bosses called for him to apologize for remarks he made about Markle.
When asked if he has any regrets about leaving the show, Morgan, who blasted the “woke mob” for getting him “canceled,” said, “I only regret that ITV tried to make me apologize for something that I genuinely believed … I didn’t believe [Meghan] then, I don’t believe her now.”
Lorraine then attempted to shift the focus onto the TV regulator Ofcom’s ruling, which vindicated ITV following a record number of complaints made about his remarks.
“They said it was a chilling infringement on my free speech,” Morgan added. “I didn’t want to leave … I was told to apologize.”
After his infamous onscreen meltdown last year, Morgan claimed he only left because he “chose not to stay listening to that idiot,” referring to Beresford.
