Piers Morgan still feels “let down” by his former Good Morning Britain co-hosts after he controversially walked out on the ITV daytime show, a source has told new.
Last week, after Gary Lineker’s Match Of The Day co-stars rallied in support when he was controversially taken off air, TalkTV host Piers, 57, tweeted, “Would have been nice to see the same solidarity.”
His jibe came after a fan asked, “Piers, were you disappointed that none of your colleagues didn’t present the day after you left GMB?”
The tweet was a reaction to Gary’s many colleagues, including Ian Wright and Alan Shearer, refusing to appear on the BBC sports show after the pundit was suspended for slamming the government’s new asylum policy.
And now a source has claimed Piers’ pointed tweet was mainly aimed at his former co-host Susanna Reid, who soldiered on presenting GMB after Piers quit following a row over his negative comments about the Duchess of Sussex.
“Piers’ tweet was a cheeky dig at Susanna,” our source claimed. “He feels not just the TV executives should have been more supportive, but his co-hosts – including Susanna – should have been, too. No one came out and backed him, only his family, no one he worked side by side with. He felt let down.”
They added that the pair – who were last seen posing for a picture together at an awards bash in November 2022 – don’t have the bond they once did.
