Talking about his new show previously, outspoken presenter Piers expressed his excitement regarding his new role.
He said: “Rupert Murdoch has been a constant and fearless champion of free speech and we are going to be building something new and very exciting together,” Morgan added.

In a statement, Rupert Murdoch said: “Piers is a brilliant presenter, a talented journalist and says what people are thinking and feeling.
“He has many passionate fans around the world and we look forward to expanding his audience in the UK, at Fox Nation, Sky News Australia, The Sun and the New York Post.”
