Piers Morgan has confessed he has just one regret after leaving Good Morning Britain.
As he appeared on Lorraine Kelly’s self-titled ITV show to talk about his exit from GMB and his upcoming show, Lorraine questioned him on whether he regretted his exit and how he left the show.
Piers was explaining his upcoming show, Piers Uncensored, as he confessed he wants to be “fair to all sides”, telling the host that she knows why he left Good Morning Britain.
Lorraine said: “Do you regret that Piers? Do you regret the way it happened and the fact it happened?”
Piers responded: “Let me be clear. I only regret that ITV tried to make me apologise for something that I genuinely believe.”
