Piers Morgan congratulates Good Morning Britain on award despite storming off the show and quitting
PIERS Morgan has offered his congratulations to Good Morning Britain after it was nominated for a top award.

The tweet was seen by Piers’ 7.9m followers and has received more likes than GMB’s own tweet of the award nomination.
He received 41,000 complaints for his comments on Meghan Markle’s Oprah interview.
The TV host, who had been on the ITV show since 2015, stormed off after becoming engaged in a row with co-star Alex Beresford.
The journalist, 55, had repeatedly made dismissive comments about Meghan's claims she was "suicidal" and suffered issues with her mental health while a Royal.
On his last appearance on Good Morning Britain, Morgan said he "didn't believe a word" of it.
When he was challenged over his comments by Beresford, the controversial TV figurehead stormed off set.
ITV later said he was "being spoken to" by bosses - but it was later revealed he had dramatically quit.
