When asked if he regretted the way things ended a year ago, Piers, 57, said: ‘I only regret that ITV tried to get me to apologize for something what I sincerely believed in.
“I didn’t believe most of what came out of Meghan Markle’s mouth when she spoke to Oprah Winfrey.”

He added:
“I didn’t believe her then, I don’t believe her now and I should have the right not to believe her.”
Piers continued to be as controversial as ever while discussing transgender sport, saying that Lorraine’s “female biased audience” would “cheer him” as he challenged trans rights at the Olympics.

ITV talk show host Lorraine, 62, vehemently asked Piers about his new show, Piers Morgan Uncensored, asking if he was ‘going to be in an echo chamber’ without a co-host for challenge or question their point of view.
She said: “You’ll probably get the other side of the story too, you’re not just going to talk to people who agree with you – it seemed like it was just people you go with. agree with you.”

Describing himself as a ‘frustrated liberal’, Piers dodged Lorraine’s questions, saying he wouldn’t ‘destroy and overrule people because they’re conservative’.
At the end of the interview, Piers reflected on his time at ITV and said he “loved” working with Susannah and enjoyed his time with the channel.
In a final listing for her new show, Piers asked if Lorraine would be watching the first episode on Monday, to which she replied, “You can leave now.”
At that point, Piers left the set laughing, saying, “I’m leaving.
“I will never come here again.”
