Piers Morgan, known for his outspoken nature, recently took a dig at the Duchess of Sussex, Meghan Markle, suggesting she must be feeling anxious about his new venture.
The controversial figure made these remarks during a visit to the Scarsdale Tavern in Kensington, West London, where he and Meghan first crossed paths five years ago.
Holding up a pint with a grin, Piers sarcastically thanked Meghan for what he perceives as her delight in his departure from Good Morning Britain.
The rift between Piers and Meghan dates back to her interview with Oprah Winfrey, which he vehemently criticized on GMB.
Meghan reportedly lodged a complaint against Piers with ITV’s top executive, Carolyn McCall, demanding an apology.
However, Piers stood his ground and chose to exit the show instead.
Now, the 56-year-old journalist has made a grand return by signing a significant deal with The Sun and NewsCorp, likened to the comeback of football superstar Cristiano Ronaldo.
In his upcoming role, Piers is set to host a new global TV show and contribute as a columnist for The Sun.
The show promises engaging discussions and debates with prominent figures from various fields.
During his tenure at GMB, alongside Susannah Reid, Piers played a pivotal role in boosting the program’s viewership, surpassing BBC Breakfast in ratings for the first time upon his departure in March.
Following the announcement of his new venture, NewsCorp’s stock witnessed a substantial surge of $400 million, reflecting the anticipation surrounding Piers’ return to the media landscape.
Apart from his weekly column for The Sun, Piers will also spearhead a TV show airing in the UK, Australia, and the US in early 2022.
With a massive social media following and a reputation as a sought-after broadcaster, Piers is poised to make a significant impact in the media industry once again.
Drawing parallels between his comeback and Cristiano Ronaldo’s reunion with Manchester United, Piers expressed gratitude for the faith shown in him by Rupert Murdoch, the executive chairman of News Corporation.
He emphasized the importance of loyalty and hard work, traits shared by him and the football icon.
Piers aims to reciprocate the trust placed in him by delivering compelling content across various platforms, including writing columns, hosting TV shows, and producing documentaries.
Victoria Newton, the editor-in-chief of The Sun, hailed Piers’ return as the most significant comeback of the year, overshadowing even Ronaldo’s highly anticipated move.
With plans to contribute fearless columns, engage in crime documentaries, and publish books, Piers is gearing up to make a lasting impact in the media realm.
As he embarks on this new chapter, Piers Morgan’s resurgence is poised to captivate audiences worldwide, setting the stage for an exciting phase in his illustrious career.
