Piers Morgan has revealed that he could be leaving Good Morning Britain for good by the end of next year.
It has been rumoured for a while that the host of the breakfast show will be calling it a day on his presenting duties.
However, the 55-year-old confirmed speculation when chatting with Susanna Reid on GMB.
Showing off a caricature picture of both himself and his co-presenter, the star began to read out some fan mail that had been sent into the show, which said: ‘I thought I heard you state you’re leaving at the end of the year.’
Clearing up the rumours, Piers quipped: ‘I’m not… Leaving next year… Possibly.’
And it didn’t take long for Susanna to add: ‘Contract negotiations underway.’
It comes after the pair revealed they’d be taking some time off from Good Morning Britain for their annual summer holiday, and won’t be back until September.
But this isn’t before they speak to Kate Garraway about her husband Derek Draper, who is currently fighting for his life after battling coronavirus.
Piers explained earlier this week: ‘We’re going to talk to Kate on Wednesday before we go off for the summer and I’m sure she’ll have something to say about this.’
He went on to give an update on Derek’s condition, after Hello! magazine reported he had since woken up from his coma.
‘It’s probably not quite as positive of a story that the papers might believe,’ the father-of-four said.
‘It’s certainly premature to think Derek is in any way out of the woods, sadly. He remains in a critical condition.’
Kate had previously told the publication: ‘We’re keeping positive and doing everything we can to bring him round. The children and I communicate with him every day on FaceTime, while a nurse holds his iPad.
‘I really believe he can hear. When medical staff say: “Good morning, Derek”, he sometimes opens his eyes. We and the doctors are doing everything we can so that he can start to recover.’
Good Morning Britain continues weekdays at 6am on ITV.
