Piers Morgan has broken his social media silence as it’s announced he has quit GMB.
The former breakfast television anchor posted a ticking clock gif around about the same time that ITV announced his departure from the show.
What did ITV say in its Piers Morgan statement?
In a brief statement, ITV said: “Following discussions with ITV, Piers Morgan has decided now is the time to leave Good Morning Britain.
“ITV has accepted this decision and has nothing further to add.”
Piers, it seems, did have something to add and took to his Twitter account.

Others, however, took the opposing viewpoint.
“Maybe give yourself a 10 min chat to yourself about your behaviour. You have acted appallingly,” said one alongside a picture of Prince Harry.
