Good Morning Britain loses 300,000 viewers after Piers Morgan quit as petition calling for him to be reinstated on show hits 227,000
Good Morning Britain has lost 300,000 viewers since Piers Morgan quit the show on Tuesday.
The 55-year-old left the daytime series following backlash over comments he made about Meghan Markle’s ‘suicidal’ thoughts.
The show had managed to beat BBC Breakfast ratings for the first time in history with 1.89 million people tuning in to watch him and Susanna Reid present the day’s news.
But since the controversial host announced his permanent departure the show’s ratings plummeted to 1.7million before falling again to 1.4million.
It comes after ITV’s share price dropped by 3.8 per cent after the controversial host quit, according to The Sun.
