Piers Morgan was all smiles on Wednesday night at the GQ Men Of The Year Awards, after celebrating his Ofcom victory over Meghan Markle.
The 56-year-old looked dapper in a black suit and tie as he walked the red carpet with wife Celia Walden.
The outspoken presenter was full of confidence after proudly boasting about the number of job offers that he has received now that he has been cleared by Ofcom for any wrongdoing.
Piers explosively left Good Morning Britain after refusing to apologise for his comments about the Duchess of Sussex following her bombshell interview with Oprah Winfrey.

Now Ofcom has ruled in favour of the television host, saying: “Under our rules, broadcasters can include controversial opinions as part of legitimate debate in the public interest, and the strong challenge to Mr Morgan from other contributors provided important context for viewers.
“The Code allows for individuals to express strongly held and robustly argued views, including those that are potentially harmful or highly offensive, and for broadcasters to include these in their programming.

“The restriction of such views would, in our view, be an unwarranted and chilling restriction on freedom of expression both of the broadcaster and the audience.’
Speaking outside his home, Piers said: “I have had loads of offers and they have accelerated in the last 10 hours, as you can imagine, and I will take my free speech campaign around the world and all I require is to have an employer who believes in it as passionately as I do.”

“This is a landmark ruling by Ofcom today. This is Ofcom saying I and any other broadcaster is entitled to say to a public figure, ‘I don’t believe you’.
“Because if they had gone the other way and said I had to believe Meghan Markle even when she was lying, where does that leave us with Government ministers who I was challenging during the pandemic?”
He then added: ‘I’m considering some very interesting offers right now and I will make a decision quite soon.
The star had received backlash after saying he did not believe the Duchess of Sussex when she said she felt suicidal when she was pregnant with Archie.
Mental health charities applauded the royal for speaking out over her mental health.
