On Monday, the morning after the interview was broadcast, Morgan attacked the two ex-acquaintances.

He said, among other things, that he did not believe Markle's words about suicidal thoughts.

"I'm sorry, but I do not believe a single word she, Meghan Markle, said.

"I would not believe her if she read out the weather," he said in the box.

Stormed out of the studio

One day and more than 41,000 reports to the British television regulator Ofcom later, Morgan - who for many years has been hard on Markle - tried to explain himself but was then answered by speech by the program's weather presenter Alex Beresford, who defended the couple and called his colleague pathetic and diabolical .

Whereupon Piers Morgan stormed out of the live broadcast to not come back at a good time.

And a few hours later, ITV briefly announced that:

"After talks with ITV, Piers Morgan has decided that this is the right time to leave 'Good morning Britain'.

ITV has accepted his decision and has nothing more to add ".
