Piers Morgan has asked to return to his post on Good Morning Britain following Prince Harry’s denial of racism in the royal family.

The TV presenter was forced to quit GMB in March 2021 after sparking a record number of complaints by saying he didn’t believe Meghan Markle’s claims about his mental health and suicidal feelings in the interview with Oprah Winfrey.

The TV presenter tweeted: “Seems like I remember being forced out of my job at @GMB for not believing Harry and Meghan’s unsubstantiated allegations of racism against the Royal Family. Now he finally has admitted there was no racism, two questions: a) Do I get my old job? b) Why should we believe a word they say?

The former tabloid editor did the same after being cleared by Ofcom for his on-air comments. which prompted more than 57,000 complaints to Ofcom, including from Meghan and Prince Harry themselves.

The broadcasting regulator ruled in September 2021 that Morgan had “the right to say he does not believe” in the royal couple and that “restriction of these opinions would be an unjustified and appalling restriction on freedom of expression”.

Morgan tweeted: “I am delighted OFCOM has approved my right not to believe the Duke and Duchess of Sussex’s inflammatory claims to Oprah Winfrey, many of which have been proven to be untrue. This is a resounding victory for society. freedom of expression and a resounding defeat for Princess Pinocchios. Do I get my job back?”
