Dad-of-five Piers has recently signed a new two year contract to continue to front the show.

The TV presenter confirmed that he will remain on GMB alongside co-host Susanna Reid for the foreseeable future in an interview with The Sun's TV Mag.

Piers said: "I’ve just signed a new contract up for GMB until the end of next year. I love working with Susanna and the team – we’re a Ying Yang that works."

He also slammed those who complain about his combative presenting style on the show, with the divisive character hitting the headlines after a series of explosive interviews with government ministers in recent weeks.

Piers insisted that he "doesn't care" about any backlash, and remained jubilant that Ofcom cleared him of all complaints.

He explained: "If my style upsets people, don't watch! Watch something else. Nobody's forcing anyone to watch it.

"You've got a remote control in your hand, I really don't understand what the problem is."

Piers added: "I don't care. I only care about Ofcom complaints if I genuinely feel that I have been at fault, then you know you're a fool.

"Ofcom ruled very heavily in my favour, which confirmed my belief that I'm just doing my job. The job of broadcasters, particularly during a crisis like this, is to challenge and ask questions.

"My frustration and anger on air comes about when ministers are completely incapable of answering even basic questions."
