The controversial TV personality teased that he would be appearing on ‘GMB’ last month, enraging die-hard Jeremy Clarkson fans when he teased that he would be “the temporary replacement for a popular male TV presenter on a big UK show”.
Luckily for ‘Top Gear’ lovers, it turned out he was actually talking about Ben Shephard, and made his debut on Monday’s ‘Good Morning Britain’, even keeping his cool when one of his first interviewees dropped an F-bomb on live telly.
Piers also managed to snag himself a few unlikely fans with his new stint on ‘GMB’...
Piers Morgan makes me laugh haha
— JOSH (@DickheadJosh) April 13, 2015Piers Morgan hosting ITV's morning show is probably the only thing that could mean they beat BBC Breakfast's viewing figures. Clever move.

— Ian Hyland (@HylandIan) April 13, 2015However, a lot of people didn’t exactly seem overjoyed to begin their Monday morning with an image of Piers on their screens.

— therowleyranger (@therowleyranger) April 13, 2015Piers Morgan on Good Morning Britain, instantly rendering the show's title ironic and oxymoronic.
— Mark Grainger (@MarkGrainger) April 13, 2015No @GMB for me this week thanks to Piers Morgan what were they thinking may stick with @BBCBreakfast wonder how many others will, bad idea!
— sarah (@sarahscrivens) April 13, 2015Please get piers Morgan off my morning programme he's crap! I've never had an opinion on him before but he's ruining my morning cuppa #GMB
— Lynsey Rushton (@Lynseygold) April 13, 2015Good Morning Britain's Twitter has just apologised for foul language.
Mainly from the viewers who are having to look at Piers Morgan.
— Greg Scott (@GregScottTV) April 13, 2015I can't come in to work today
"Why not?"
I saw Piers Morgan on Good Morning Britain and jammed the remote control into my retina
— Dan (@ehdannyboy) April 13, 2015Usually watch Good Morning Britain. Not a fucking chance with @piersmorgan on there now though. Breakfast on BBC1 it is.
— Oli (@OStarsmore) April 13, 2015Luckily, it doesn’t look as though Piers has taken any of the negative criticism aimed at him to heart, and has even publicly responded to some of his detractors on his official Twitter page.
They married > RT @DoubleJGeoff: Watching @gmb with @piersmorgan, it's like watching Anchorman when his co-host clearly doesn't like him.
— Piers Morgan (@piersmorgan) April 13, 2015Formerly the editor of The Mirror, in more recent years Piers has made a name for himself as a TV personality, judging 'Britain's Got Talent' and the American equivalent, as well as fronting 'Piers Morgan's Life Stories' in the UK and the now-defunct 'Piers Morgan Live' in the US.
He will be co-presenting ‘Good Morning Britain’ on ITV for the rest of this week.
