Reaction as ‘manbaby’ Morgan walks off his own show

“Piers spouts off on a regular basis and we all have to sit there and listen..." - has he had a taste of his own medicine?

Alex Beresford became an unlikely hero this morning after he called Piers Morgan out for stoking the fire around Meghan and Harry’s split from the royal family.

The Good Morning Britain presenter walked out on his own show earlier on after facing some uncomfortable questions over his conduct.

Beresford said there had been an “overwhelming amount of negative press” aimed at the couple and seemed to single Morgan out as he said “we all need to take a step back” on the issue.

It comes as Prince Harry took aim at Britain’s tabloid press saying they were a “large part” of why they left UK.

He recalled a conversation he had at a charity fundraiser in which he was told that the UK is “very bigoted”, and he said he replied: “The UK is not bigoted, the UK press is bigoted, specifically the tabloids.”

He added: “But unfortunately if the source of information is inherently corrupt or racist or biased then that filters out to the rest of society.”

Questions over racism also cropped up on GMB, with Beresford saying: “The thing with racism is that it isn’t always caught on camera.

“Racism isn’t always a black man lying on the floor with a white police officer’s knee on his neck.”

The weatherman’s ability to hold Piers and others to account has been widely lauded on social media. Here’s what people have had to say so far:

What an absolutely cracking start to the morning. A dark knight rises to Meghan’s rescue and calls Piers out on his own show, and like the giant manbaby he is, he storms off. pic.twitter.com/1gE04NjYO7

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.
