Piers Morgan has been approached about a potential return to Good Morning Britain after ratings slumped, The Sun has reported.
The outspoken presenter was sensationally booted off the show over his comments on Meghan Markle, which prompted him to storm out after being confronted by Alex Beresford.
He told reporters that ITV “didn’t offer any support” amid his departure, admitting he did regret the on-air tantrum.
“I shouldn’t have walked off, though, I do regret that,” he said. “You can’t be the great crusader of free speech and then walk off when someone says something you don’t like.”
Piers also claimed a ‘third-party’ had reached out to see if he would consider a return to the network’s flagship program, which is yet to announce a permanent replacement for him.
He said: “As the Americans say, they reached out — there have been approaches to test the water in the wake of their obvious ratings issues.
“It makes me sad to see all the hard work we did to beat the BBC in viewing numbers evaporate so fast.
“It’s their problem to work out … but never say never.”
ITV has been contacted for comment.

Since you are here
Since you are here, we wanted to ask for your help.
Journalism in Britain is under threat. The government is becoming increasingly authoritarian and our media is run by a handful of billionaires, most of whom reside overseas and all of them have strong political allegiances and financial motivations.
Our mission is to hold the powerful to account. It is vital that free media is allowed to exist to expose hypocrisy, corruption, wrongdoing and abuse of power. But we can't do it without you.
