Piers Morgan has addressed whether he'll be trying to "steal" Good Morning Britain viewers after leaving the programme last year and launching his new TalkTV show, Uncensored.Speaking to Express.co.uk and other publications at the launch of the programme, the TV star, 57, told how he didn't want to steal GMB's viewers, after a number of GMB staff left the programme to work with Piers on his new show.The star's talk show, Uncensored, launched at the end of April and marked Piers' comeback to TV.Speaking candidly ahead of the programme's launch, Piers told how he wanted the GMB viewers who stopped watching following his exit, to tune in to his new show.Piers said: "I mean, I won't be looking to steal Good Morning Britain viewers."I just really looking to pick up all those who stopped watching it."Which judging by when I walk around and judging by the ratings is a lot of people," the star claimed.He went on: "So, if you if you love Good Morning Britain when I was on it, and you miss me and that, you know where to find me."There's a lot of people who I think were annoyed about what went down so they'd be the ones I'd be after," he added.Piers left the ITV show last year following remarks he made about Meghan Markle.Speaking about his time on GMB, the star said: "I used to think I was uncensored."And then of course, when I left Good morning, Britain, it turned out that I actually was being censored in the sense that I was told I had to apologise for disbelieving Princess Pinocchio, or I would have to leave the building."So I took the leave the building option, which I thought was a sad, it was a sad moment for me and for the show."Piers' comments about viewers tuning into the show come after his former co-host Susanna Reid.
