Piers Morgan takes fresh swipe at ITV as he promises to tell TalkTV viewers exactly what he thinks every night
PIERS Morgan has taken a fresh swipe at his old bosses at ITV - insisting he was censored on Good Morning Britain.
The 57-year-old promised his fans he’ll be telling them exactly what he thinks on his new TalkTV Show, aptly named Piers Morgan Uncensored.
Responding to a fan who questioned if he was ever truly censored because he made his thoughts known, Piers replied: “True, but ITV tried to censor me when they said I had to apologise for disbelieving Princess Pinocchio or lose my GMB job.
“I just opted to leave so I could continue saying what I think, which is what I'll be doing every night on my new show.”
Piers' fans won't have to wait long for their favourite broadcaster to return to their screens - as the launch is set for April 25.
The Sun columnist previously said: “I’m delighted to now be returning to live television with a new daily show whose main purpose is to cancel the Cancel Culture which has infected societies around the world.

"I want it to be a platform for lively vigorous debate, news-making interviews, and that increasingly taboo three-letter word: fun. I also want it to annoy all the right people.”
The new global show fronted by the former Piers, will go to air with the UK launch of TalkTV on linear TV platforms Sky, Virgin Media, Freeview and Freesat.
On March 9, 2021 Piers dramatically stormed off the Good Morning Britain set after he was slated by co-star Alex Beresford for his comments towards Meghan Markle, leading him to quit the show.
At the time ITV released a statement to confirm that he had left the breakfast show.

The statement read: "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."
The TV host got into a heated argument about the Duchess of Sussex's claims to have had issues with her mental health.
Piers claimed he was "sickened" by Meghan for "trashing" the Royal Family as "white supremacists" during her interview with Oprah Winfrey.
Since quitting Good Morning Britain, the show has failed to reach the ratings high he delivered, with the series beating BBC Breakfast for the first time on his final broadcast.
GMB has also struggled to find a high profile replacement for him, instead using a rotating roster of male hosts to sit alongside his former co-star Susanna Reid.

They include hosts Richard Madeley, Adil Ray, Martin Lewis, and Ed Balls.
After months of speculation about his next move, last September the star announced he was joining The Sun and its parent company News Corp in an unprecedented global deal.
