Good Morning Britain loses 300,000 viewers after Piers Morgan quit as petition calling for him to be reinstated on show hits 227,000
Good Morning Britain has lost 300,000 viewers since Piers Morgan quit the show on Tuesday.
The 55-year-old left the daytime series following backlash over comments he made about Meghan Markle‘s ‘suicidal’ thoughts.
The show managed to beat BBC Breakfast ratings for the first time in history, with 1.89million people tuning in to watch him and Susanna Reid present the day’s news.
But since he quit, the show’s ratings have dropped significantly – to 1.7million, and then 1.4million.
It comes after ITV’s share price dropped by 3.8 per cent after the controversial host quit, according to The Sun.
