"Following discussions with ITV, Piers Morgan has decided now is the time to leave Good Morning Britain," the channel said in a statement. "ITV has accepted this decision and has nothing further to add."
The former Daily Mirror editor and CNN presenter walked out in the middle of Tuesday morning's programme after GMB weatherman Alex Beresford accused him of harbouring a personal grudge against the Duchess of Sussex.
