ITV | What Piers Morgan's departure means for GMB's employer brand

It recently emerged that television presenter Piers Morgan had stepped down from his role on ITV’s morning news show Good Morning Britain (GMB), following a row over comments he made about Meghan Markle.

ITV announced the news after Ofcom stated it would investigate his comments after it received 41,000 complaints from viewers, reported the BBC.

It comes after Morgan stated that he “didn’t believe a word” the Duchess of Sussex told Oprah Winfrey regarding her mental health and thoughts of suicide during a televised interview.

Mental health charity Mind, who is a partner with ITV on its Britain Get Talking campaign, criticised Morgan for the remarks, stating that the charity was “disappointed”.
