Former CNN host Piers Morgan walked out during a live broadcast of “Good Morning Britain” after being confronted about disparaging remarks he made about Meghan Markle’s interview with Oprah Winfrey.
Morgan was challenged by co-host Alex Beresford after he spent Monday morning raging at Markle, prompting a complaint from mental health charity Mind, which raised concerns after Morgan said he did not believe that the Duchess of Sussex had suicidal thoughts.
Calling out Morgan’s “diabolical behavior,” Beresford said: “I’m sorry, but Piers spouts off on a regular basis and we all have to sit there and listen. Six-thirty to seven o’clock yesterday was incredibly hard to watch. Incredibly hard to watch… He has the ability to come in here and talk from a position where he doesn’t fully understand.”
Morgan walked out when Beresford raised the fact that Markle had shunned him in the past. “I understand that you don’t like Meghan Markle. You’ve made it so clear, a number of times on this program. A number of times,” Beresford said.
“And I understand that you’ve got a personal relationship with Meghan Markle and she cut you off, she’s entitled to cut you off, if she wants to. Has she said anything about you since she cut you off? I don’t think she has. But yet you continue to trash her.”

Morgan got up and walked off, exclaiming: “OK, I’m done with this.”
