Piers Morgan has finally spoken up hours after quitting Good Morning Britain on Tuesday following his clash with Alex Beresford.
His departure followed an on-air clash with weather presenter Alex Beresford, who criticised Morgan on Tuesday for “continuing to trash” Meghan, prompting Morgan to walk off set.
Mental health charity Mind said it was “disappointed” by Morgan’s comments on Monday, which sparked 41,000 complaints leading to an investigation.
Reacting to his exit in a tweet on Wednesday morning, Morgan wrote: “On Monday, I said I didn’t believe Meghan Markle in her Oprah interview. I’ve had time to reflect on this opinion, and I still don’t.
“If you did, OK. Freedom of speech is a hill I’m happy to die on. Thanks for all the love, and hate. I’m off to spend more time with my opinions.”

It was announced he was leaving the show after he made inflammatory comments about the Duchess of Sussex.
In a tweet on Tuesday night, Morgan posted a picture of himself with his late manager, John Ferriter, and said: “He’d have told me to do exactly the same thing. @GMB”
He added the hashtag #TrustYourGut.
