Piers Morgan has apparently had the last laugh after reportedly poaching a bunch of top staff from ITV.
The outspoken presenter stepped down from ITV breakfast show Good Morning Britain last year in the wake of the Meghan Markle row, and is set to launch a new show on Rupert Murdoch’s talkTV.
And according to the Daily Mail he is exacting revenge by taking six members of staff with him.
The publication quoted a source close to Piers as saying: “We’ve nicked all the best people.”
Piers, 56, quit his Good Morning Britain job in March last year after dramatically storming off during an argument about Harry and Meghan’s bombshell interview with Oprah Winfrey.

“We’re hiring for my new show & an exciting new TV network,” tweeted Piers.

“BREAKING: First (very early) glimpse of my spanking new work home,” the broadcaster tweeted.

“If you judge a man by the size of his studio then I’ll be MASSIVE when my new global daily prime-time TV show launches in a few weeks.”
The TV presenter added: “PS relax, those aren’t actually dance-floor lights…”
