Piers Morgan asks ‘Do I get my job back?’ over ‘Princess Pinocchio’ Meghan Markle’s ‘chilling’ attack on free speech

PIERS Morgan has asked Good Morning Britain for his job back after Ofcom ruled he was entitled to criticise Meghan Markle.

The media watchdog confirmed Piers WAS within his rights to give his opinions during the heated debate back in March.

The star, 56, stormed off GMB after questioning Meghan Markle’s claims to Oprah that she suffered suicidal feelings – and then later quit rather than apologise.

Posting after the ruling today, Piers, 56, shared a picture of him and former co-host Susanna Reid on the ITV morning show.

He wrote: “I’m delighted OFCOM has endorsed my right to disbelieve the Duke & Duchess of Sussex’s incendiary claims to Oprah Winfrey, many of which have proven to be untrue.

“This is a resounding victory for free speech and a resounding defeat for Princess Pinocchios. Do I get my job back?”

Ofcom, which regulates TV shows, ruled today that Piers was allowed to air his own opinions on the show.

It wrote: “The restriction of such views would, in our view, be an unwarranted and chilling restriction on freedom of expression both of the broadcaster and the audience.”

Writing in the Mail after the verdict was revealed today, Piers took aim at Meghan and Harry, saying: “Chilling… wow.

“Ironically, I would imagine that word will prompt a very chilly reaction from the self-satisfied Sussexes as they slurp kale smoothies in their California mansion over breakfast this morning.

“Make no mistake, this is a watershed moment in the battle for free speech.”

In the aftermath of the broadcast, Piers’ rant about Meghan’s Oprah interview received the most complaints to the regulator in a decade – with more than 57,000 lodged against him.

Ofcom then confirmed that they launched an investigation into the episode of Good Morning Britain under “harm and offence rules”.

The presenter made dismissive comments about Meghan’s claims to have had issues with her mental health during the show.

He even claimed he didn’t believe she was left feeling suicidal.

In the interview, Meghan told how life as a royal became unbearable and she “didn’t want to be alive anymore”.

The Duchess of Sussex, 39, said she begged for help but was told she would not be able to seek help as it “wouldn’t be good for the institution”.

But Piers had no sympathy for the then-pregnant Royal and ranted on the ITV breakfast show: “Who did you go to? What did they say to you?

“I don’t believe a word she says, Meghan Markle. I wouldn’t believe a weather report if she read it.

“The fact she has expressed an onslaught against our Royal Family is contemptible.”

The day after he made the comments – Piers announced he wouldn’t be returning to the show following his colleague Alex Beresford’s monologue criticising him for continually attacking Meghan.
