Piers has long been a divisive character, but I’m among those who think him a brilliant broadcaster who’s compelling to watch. Ironically, I reckon quitting the way he did plays into the hands of Meghan who he so disapproves of. But I don’t think he enjoyed the early mornings anyway. I will struggle to watch GMB without Piers as the rest of their presenting team aren’t a patch on him. The only person I consider capable of filling his massive shoes is Jeremy Clarkson, and I doubt any money would persuade him. I’d like to see the sycophantic Lorraine Kelly finally get a long overdue axing, and Piers given her slot on his own. What do you think?
"I will struggle to watch GMB without Piers"...the answer, of course, is don't watch it. Morning TV is not compulsory (yet)...our TV isn't on til at least 6pm and we're doing fine. Ever considered the radio?
I think Piers rather carefully orchestrated this scene to enhance his wages and already has another job lined up. I don't particularly like or dislike him so just an observation.
Piers is a bully, who doesn't let anyone else speak. I agree with a lot of what he says, but it's totally unprofessional walking off a job.
Can't stand Lorraine Kelly.
I think the producers need to work out the difference between a free-spoken person, which is good- and a bully who won't shut up.
I sorta like Piers but when I watched his walk-off - he knew what he was doing - just waiting for the first wrong word - he will get a better paid job next time.
