After leaving Good Morning Britain, Piers Morgan said he still didn’t believe what Meghan Markle said in her Oprah Winfrey interview, and refused to apologise

Piers Morgan insists he has no regrets about leaving Good Morning Britain, almost five years on from announcing his exit. In March 2021, the presenter revealed he had left the show following a row over comments he made about Meghan Markle.

Piers has long voiced dismay over claims made by Prince Harry and Meghan about their time in the Royal Family, but expressing his true opinions on air and subsequently refusing to apologise ultimately cost him his job.

Following the pair’s bombshell interview with Oprah Winfrey in 2021, Piers said he didn’t believe a word they said, including Meghan’s admission about having suicidal thoughts.

During a discussion about the topic on ITV’s Good Morning Britain, the 60-year-old clashed with his co-star Alex Beresford in a heated row and ultimately stormed off the set.

Although the situation appeared to settle before the programme ended, Piers later announced his departure from the show, citing his refusal to apologise as the reason.

Now almost five years later, the outspoken journalist insisted he stands by his decision. “It was one of the most sickening attacks on our Royal Family, a monarchy, that I have ever seen,” he said of the pair’s interview.

“I was not going to grovel and apologise to the people that perpetrated that attack. So I told them you can take your job and shove it where the tiaras don’t shine.”

Addressing his departure at the time, ITV said in a statement: “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.”

Ofcom received more than 50,000 complaints about the episode, many of which argued that comments about mental health and suicide were harmful and highly offensive. However, in September that year ITV was cleared by Ofcom.

Reflecting on what he described as a “brutal” schedule, he added to the publication: “I did it for five years getting up, and managed to negotiate my way to a 4.30/5am start by the end, but it is brutal.

“And then you do two-and-a-half or three years of live television, that takes all the adrenaline out and is really hard on the body, you get to midday and you’re absolutely exhausted!”.

Following his exit, Piers went on to host his TalkTV show Piers Morgan Uncensored from 2022 to 2024, before leaving the network and moving the programme to YouTube.

Since September 2025, a weekly highlights show from the YouTube episodes has aired on Channel 5.

Additionally, while he stepped away from his role, he hasn’t turned his back on ITV entirely.

Earlier this year, he re-joined his former co-presenter Susanna Reid and Ed Balls on Good Morning Britain to discuss an interview he did with US President Donald Trump.

The Naked Gun stars, Pamela Anderson and Liam Neeson, got tongues wagging after starring in a reboot of the iconic film, with many wondering if they were a couple

Pamela Anderson has broken her silence on the Liam Neeson romance rumours, which surrounded the pair after they starred in The Naked Gun together.

Fans were convinced something was going on between the Baywatch star and Irish actor this summer when they appeared very pally during the promotional tour for the film, which continues the slapstick parody legacy of the iconic original.

Mum-of-two, Pamela, 58 – who previously admitted she was nervous about meeting Liam, 73, before shooting Naked Gun – looked delighted to be with the Taken icon, who in turn appeared smitten with the CJ Parker star. And now, Pamela has confirmed that the rumours were true…

In bombshell news, the star has admitted that the pair were indeed romantically involved – but are now ‘better off as friends’. Speaking to People magazine, she said: “If you must know, Liam and I were romantically involved for a short while but only after we finished filming.”

The star explained how the pair enjoyed an “intimate week” together at the Taken actor’s home in New York. Pamela said: “I had my own room. Our assistants both came; even family stopped by.”

However, after a “romantic lost week” together, Pamela revealed how they ended up going their “separate ways to work on other films” – and are in fact, better off as friends.

Pamela and Liam ended up reconnecting on the promotional tour for Naked Gun this summer and she was amused to hear that some thought their obvious closeness was for publicity – insisting “we have real feelings”. The Last Showgirl star said: “We were having fun, (our connection was) a little bit like a Nancy Meyers film.

“I always was laughing when people thought, ‘Oh that’s a publicity stunt.’ I’m like, ‘A publicity stunt? This is real. We have real feelings.’ I adore Liam, but we are better friends, in full honesty.”

Pamela had previously admitted she was nervous about meeting Liam before shooting the film, but soon impressed him by bringing homemade sourdough bread and muffins to set. During a SiriusXM Town Hall event in New York City, she said: “[I was] nervous to meet [Liam], of course and you’re always nervous the first day on the set …

“I brought sourdough bread to Liam and cookies and muffins and kept me busy. Kept me outta trouble … It’s a very special [muffin] recipe. It’s very good for you. Let’s just say that.”

Meanwhile, Liam explained that he was charmed by Pamela from the moment they met. The Cold Pursuit star said: “Well, you know, we had never met before and I remember thinking: ‘Wow, she is gorgeous’, but she had this wonderful sense of silliness and just humanity about her.

“I don’t want to blow her head up, but it was like I just felt an ease with her, you know, and we discovered a silliness with each other, which was terrific, you know?”

The cast of Narnia has fans feeling nostalgic as actors William Moseley, Anna Popplewell, Skandar Keynes, and Georgie Henley came together to celebrate the anniversary by recreating an old photo

Fans were left feeling nostalgic as the cast of Narnia came together to celebrate the 20th anniversary of film by recreating an iconic photo along with the movie’s director.

The Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe premiered on December 7 2005, and was the start of the trilogy of films that took fans by storm. It stars William Moseley, Anna Popplewell, Skandar Keynes, and Georgie Henley as the siblings Peter, Susan, Edmund, and Lucy as they find a hidden passage through a wardrobe that leads them to the world of Narnia, where they ally with the lion Aslan (voiced by Liam Neeson) against the forces of Jadis, the White Witch, portrayed by Tilda Swinton.

The film was a huge success grossing $745 million worldwide against a $180 million budget and becoming the third-highest-grossing film of 2005. It was then followed by two more films in the franchise, Prince Caspian and The Voyage of Dawn Treader.

For the 20th anniversary of the film, which was released in 2005, the four actors met up with director Andrew Adamson to celebrate together, and even recreate a 20 year old photo.

Taking to her Instagram page, Georgie shared a photo which appears to have been taken around the time where the first movie was filmed. It sees the four child actors sitting on a bench together.

William, Skandar, and Anna were seen hugging, with Skandar making a face, while Georgie sat next to them, also making a face. Next to her, sat director Andrew as they all posed for the camera.

She then posted the recreated version of the photo, where the actors, now all in their 30s, were trying their best to recreate the same poses along with Andrew sitting next to Georgie.

She then went on to share two more photos of the group enjoying a meal together in a restaurant, with one photo being more serious before they all burst out laughing.

Georgie wrote in the caption of the post: “20 years!!!!!! we had to recreate this photo in August when Andrew was in London. I don’t really have the words except thank you Andrew for creating real life magic and letting us be a part of it, and thank you everyone who loves the film as much as we loved making it.”

She then added: “I’ll post some more pictures soon of our Narnia family, how beyond lucky we are!!”

Fans quickly took to the comment to express their love for the film and its creators, as many couldn’t believe it had been 20 years since the first film was first released.

“How was that already 20 years ago?? I remember seeing it in theatres as a kid and being absolutely blown away. The music is also amazing!! Thank y’all so, so much for all the magic you brought us – still one of my favourite movies as an adult!!” one person wrote.

“Also 20 years!! Ah I feel old,” a second fan wrote, as someone else commented: “I just re watched all 3! Best cast, best movies! Love that you all got together!!!”

Fearne Cotton’s makeup artist has shared the affordable metallic liquid eyeliner she uses to add some subtle festive sparkle, and it works perfectly on mature skin

The Christmas season is all about bringing a touch or sparkle and magic to every outfit, but if you don’t want to go all-out with a sequin party dress, then metallic makeup is a quick, easy and effective way to bring some subtle glitz and glamour. If you’re looking for some inspiration, Fearne Cotton’s makeup artist Justine Jenkins has shared her go-to pick that added an understated shimmer to your everyday look.

In a recent Instagram post, Justine revealed that she’d used Violette_FR’s Lune Liner on The 44 year old radio presenter and DJ’s lids, opting for the shade Cuivre 29 which you can pick up for £35. The two-tone metallic liner has a chrome effect which appears to be different colours when you move, with the Cuivre 29 moving between green and bronze colour that’s perfect for Christmas.

The liquid eyeliner is also perfect for using on mature skin, as it has a creamy, blendable formula that means it won’t drag your lid too much when you apply it. As we get older our skin thins, which can make areas like your eyelids much harder to apply makeup to.

However the Lune Liner has a fine-tipped applicator wand that makes it easy to create thin, precise lines and wings with your eyeliner without applying too much pressure. Its formula is also blendable and buildable, so you can use it to create more smokey eye effects or use it as a creamy eyeshadow.

Although Fearne wore the Cuivre 29 of the Lune Liner , you can also pick it up in other shades including Coup de Foudre, which moves between green and gold hues, and Aurora, which has a frosty white and pink colour combination, both of which would work great for the festive season. You could also shop Stila’s Stay All Day Chroma-Flash Liquid Eyeliner for some other colour options, with the peacock blue colour now on sale for £16.10 (down from £23) at Debenhams.

If that’s not enough choice for you, About Face’s Holographic Eye Paints are £20 and come in 10 different shades, plenty of which would be amazing for wearing over Christmas. Or if you prefer your eyeliner in a pencil formula, the £26 Danessa Myricks Beauty Infinite Chrome Micropencils or the £16 HAUS Labs Optic Intensity Eco Gel Eyeliner Pencil are both great alternatives.

Heartbroken Sharon Osbourne has revealed the special daily ritual she follows which. makes her feel close to Ozzy, who died just over two weeks after his triumphant farewell concert in July

Despite many ups and downs, theirs was one of the strongest marriages in the showbiz world. Now, five months on from Ozzy Osbourne’s death aged 76, his bereft wife Sharon has opened up about how she remembers her late rocker husband after his shock death in July.

Ozzy has been laid to rest underneath an apple tree, in the grounds of the family home, Welders House in Buckinghamshire, which became the Osbournes’ main home after they moved back from LA. And the Black Sabbath frontman had joked before his death that he hoped his children would make wine from the fruit and get drunk.

The peaceful spot is one that Sharon, who had been married to Ozzy since 1982, visits every single day, and one the family often takes comfort from when they visit it.

Sharon told The Sun: “Everybody goes down there and has a chat with him. It’s never without candles by his pictures.

“He’d want to be missed. And he is, so terribly. I mean, it’s not even missed. It’s an ache that you wake up with, and you can’t get rid of that ache. It’s like a big hole inside of you, and the kids feel exactly the same way.

“They need to create new words for it, the feeling of loss, you know, the love of your life.” The family now face their first ever Christmas together without him.

Speaking to good friend Piers Morgan in an emotional interview for his show Uncensored, the former X Factor judge revealed devastatingly that after Ozzy died, it was only the thought of her children and grandchildren that had stopped her from contemplating taking her own life.

She said, “I would have just gone with Ozzy, definitely. I’ve done everything I wanted to do. You know [my children] have been unbelievable, just magnificent with me, all three of them.”

The 73-year-old also insisted she will never remarry, even though Ozzy in his final weeks asked if she thought she would. Tearful, Sharon said: “Everything in my life now is like ish . . . it’s OK, all right. I’m OK. That’s it for now. For so, so many years, we were intertwined.

“It’s very weird to me. You know, when you love someone that much and you’re grieving for them, it’s what I have to live with, and I’ll get used to it. I will. I have to, you know, things move on.”

Sharon also revealed that she has been pouring over many of Ozzy’s diaries, going right back to the mid-80s, which have given insights into some of his personal demons.

She said: “I’ve been reading them and it’s sad. He would put himself down a lot in his journals. It’s very, very sad.”

One of the trickiest outfits to pull off over the festive season is your office Christmas party look. Trying to strike the balance between festive and fun whilst still being smart and work-appropriate can be tricky, but luckily we’ve spotted one dress that nails the brief perfectly.

When Charlotte Hawkins wore her Emerald Green Satin Twist Front Midi Dress on Friday’s episode of Good Morning Britain, we instantly knew this was one that would work for all manner of Christmas parties. The dress hails from Next and has a price tag of just £46, making it an affordable pick, and you can re-wear it for countless occasions, from weddings and events to dinner dates and nights out.

Whilst Charlotte paired hers with some simple metallic heels to host the morning show, you could easily style it with some bolder platforms or a pair of knee high boots for parties, or even with some simple loafers for a more laid-back occasion. The emerald green colour is also perfectly festive without screaming “Christmas” at you, so you can wear it all year round with no issues.

If you prefer a more muted colour, Charlotte’s Satin Twist Front Midi Dress also comes in chocolate brown and black, with Rochelle Humes picking the brown colourway as one of her favourite pieces to wear this Christmas. Rochelle said: “This dress is genuinely a must. SO flattering, particularly after the tiramisu.”

Apart from its expensive-looking colour, the dress has a timeless, flattering cut that’ll suit all body shapes. The midi length hemline and floaty short sleeves keep it formal and modest enough for the office, whilst the twist detail on the front creates a flattering hourglass shape without being too fitted or clingy – perfect for hiding that post-tiramisu bloat like Rochelle said.

Shoppers were also delighted with the Satin Twist Front Midi Dress , with one saying: “Bought for new year, looks great, quite long and swishy and good quality for £46 – hides the tum too!”

Another wrote: “Bought this for a charity ball and had so many compliments. Lovely fit and material.”

Some found issues with the fit, however, with one reviewer saying: “I am usually a 14-16, so ordered both sizes in this dress. Unfortunately, both came up very tight and I returned them. Shame, as it’s a lovely dress.”

Whilst another agreed: “Poor fit, too tight around bust too loose around hips.”

However others loved the shape and design of the Satin Twist Front Midi Dress , with another happy shopper adding: “Beautiful dress, the fabric is beautiful and it hangs perfectly and is a great length for my height, looking forward to wearing this on one of my Christmas nights out.”

Someone else praised: “Absolutely love this dress! It’s the perfect blend of confidence and elegance. A true leader’s party wear, bold, classy, and guaranteed to make a statement.

Alternatively, you could pick up this Navy Erin Midi Dress in Nobody’s Child’s winter sale where it’s slashed from £85 to £43, although sizes are starting to sell out quickly. Meanwhile Hobbs has slashed a huge £100 off its Eastbury Dress bringing it down from £189 to £89, whilst New Look’s Dark Burgundy Satin Ruffled Sleeve Midi Dress is perfect for those on a budget, with a price tag of £37.99.
