Piers Morgan on Instagram: Star bids final farewell to GMB and co-host Susanna Reid

All packed up and ready to ship out!

Piers Morgan has posted a final farewell to GMB and his co-host Susanna Reid with a tongue-in-cheek quip on Instagram.

The one-time breakfast show anchor posted a picture of what appeared to be his old GMB dressing room.

It had been packed up into a number of brown cardboard boxes – and had a life-sized cut-out of Susanna Reid lurking in the background.

I think I’ll leave the cardboard cut-out, would be a bit creepy to take that home.

How did Piers’ former colleagues react?

Susanna doesn’t appear to have commented or liked the post.

However, she has been on Instagram today.

This morning (March 24), she uploaded a picture of herself wearing the gorgeous green dress she wore on today’s GMB.

It appears Piers remains close to the breakfast telly gang, though.

Last night, as former co-host Kate Garraway’s Finding Derek documentary aired, he sent her a supportive message on Twitter.

Piers posted a quote from Nelson Mandela that read: “It always seems impossible until it’s done.”

He captioned it with a praying emoji and the words “love you @kategarraway”.

Why did Piers Morgan leave GMB?

Piers walked out live on air on March 9 after an altercation with Alex Beresford over Meghan Markle’s Oprah interview.

Later that night, Piers announced that he had decided to quit the breakfast show.
