Piers Morgan has defended Harry Potter author JK Rowling, insisting "she'll survive" the attempts to cancel her following her remarks surrounding transgender issues and the definition of women.The former Life Stories host, 57, was speaking during the press launch of his new TalkTV show, Uncensored, when he insisted that like himself and his TalkTV colleague Sharon Osbourne, the Harry Potter author will survive being a victim of cancel culture.When asked to address the difference between holding someone to account and calling for them to be cancelled, the outspoken TV star was quick to clarify the two.Piers said: "You can hold people to vigorous account, you can be severely critical of people, I'm like that all the time."I write very critical columns of people."I don't call for them to be cancelled."I don't call for their lives to be ruined and then to be basically disintegrated in front of our very eyes," he added.Piers explained: "That is cancelled culture and it's getting worse and worse and worse, and people like Sharon and I will survive."JK Rowling, she'll survive the most appalling abuse and attempts to cancel her for having an opinion that she stands up for women's rights."It's appalling what happened to her, but we know where this line is," he said to Huffington Post and other publications.Earlier this this year, Piers put aside his feud with the author to defend the "cancelled" star amid the transgender row.Piers branded the treatment of the author "an absolute disgrace" amid the backlash she is facing for airing her views on the on sex and gender.He looked to the issue of the US transgender swimmer, Lia Thomas, who is set to become a world champion after having joined the women's team, as an example.The swimmer

Piers Morgan is coming back with a bang for his new weeknight show Uncensored on TalkTV, as ex-US president Donald Trump is the first to be interviewed on it - and the viewing is guaranteed to be explosive. However, Trump has already issued two statements insisting that video clips for the show's trailer portray him in a misleading light.

Piers Morgan has said Donald Trump looks "bonkers" as he continued his war of words with the former US president.The ex-Good Morning Britain host was responding after Trump criticised him in a statement about his upcoming interview with Piers.Writing in The Sun, Piers referred to a heated part of the interview where the pair clashed over the results of the 2020 US presidential election.Directly addressing Trump, he wrote: "You reiterated in your statement that I’m a fool if I truly believe those results."Well, I do — as do many senior Republicans from Mitch McConnell to Mike Pence — so I guess I must identify myself, by your criteria, as a fool."That doesn’t change my conviction that you lost the 2020 election fairly, and to date you’ve produced no hard evidence to suggest otherwise."Until or if you do, I politely suggest you stop perpetuating such absurd delusion which just makes you look like the world’s sorest loser and slightly bonkers."Trump had earlier accused Piers of sharing "fake news" after he posted an edited clip on his Twitter page of the interview that made it seem like the former president had stormed out.The 30-second clip shows the pair arguing over Trump's claims the 2020 election was rigged, with Morgan, 57, telling him he "hasn't produced the hard evidence".In what is dubbed, "The most explosive interview of the year", the 75-year-old is heard telling Morgan: "I don't think you're real" before standing up and saying "turn the camera off" as he proceeds to leave the interview.In his statement, Trump claimed the clip was altered to make him look bad.He said: "Piers Morgan, like the rest of the fake news media, attempted to unlawfully and deceptively edit his long and tedious interview."He wanted to make

Welcome back to breakfast TV Hope you're well."Naga's absence was felt not just by viewers of BBC Breakfast but by listeners of her BBC Radio 5 Live show, who were worried by her unexplained absence.Last week, one fan tweeted: "Naga, Where have you been? I think you have only been on R5L once in the past two weeks? We are missing you.
