‘Really difficult times’ Susanna Reid gets candid about working with Piers Morgan on GMB

Piers quit Good Morning Britain a year ago today after his argument with weatherman Alex Beresford about Meghan Markle’s Oprah Winfrey interview.

Reflecting on her time with Piers on the show, Susanna admitted it was “really difficult” at times, due to the stories they had to cover.

Speaking to The Sun’s Fabulous Magazine, she said: “I remember early on, the rows about the role of women and feminism, and those arguments felt like the big issue at the time, and then, of course, we moved on to Brexit and Trump.

“We went through some really difficult times together as a team and those were very powerful moments.

During the touching interview, Meghan admitted struggles she faced in the royal family, even considering suicide as she found it hard to adjust to royal life.

This then prompted Prince Harry to agree to move out of the UK with their son, in fear of history repeating itself.

Harry’s mother Princess Diana died in 1997 after being chased by paparazzi and crashing in a tunnel.

Piers’ views on the Meghan interview sparked over 50,000 complaints to Ofcom.

In a 97-page ruling, the regulator found that Piers’ comments were “potentially harmful and offensive” but were allowed.

This is because any restriction of such views would have had a chilling effect on freedom of expression.

An Ofcom spokesperson said: “This was a finely balanced decision. Mr Morgan’s comments were potentially harmful and offensive to viewers, and we recognise the strong public reaction to them.

“But we also took full account of freedom of expression.”
