Good Morning Britain presenter Piers Morgan is reportedly celebrating having the last laugh following his explosive exit from the ITV show last year. The star is said to have “exacted revenge” on his former employer by poaching some of the broadcaster’s “best people” for his new programme on TalkTV.Piers quit his role on GMB last March after storming off set live on-air following a row over Meghan Markle’s interview with Oprah Winfrey.The infamous TV moment sparked a slew of Ofcom complaints, including one from the Duchess of Sussex herself, after Piers claimed he didn’t believe her damning complaints about life in the Royal Family.Although Piers’ GMB exit was mired in controversy, he is now said to be getting his own back on ITV by “nicking” several important members of staff to work with him on a new channel, TalkTV, which is set to be launched by Rupert Murdoch in the UK later this year.The Mail on Sunday claims that a source close to Piers “jubilantly” said: “We’ve nicked all the best people.”They added: “Piers is not a man to cross. “He was forced out of ITV totally unnecessarily and now he has dealt the ultimate revenge by taking their stars.“He has only hired the people who he thinks are the best so this is a really big blow to the channel.”Express.co.uk has contacted representatives for Piers and ITV for comment. It comes after Erron Gordon, GMB’s director since the show’s launch in April 2014, was the first to join Piers on his new TV project.Gordon will be working on Piers’ daily show as executive creative director and head of studio output.Ollie Gardner, a director on ITV’s Loose Women and previous GMB team member, will reportedly become deputy head of studio output.Meanwhile, GMB’s assistant editor Ben

'People think it's a cosy little show' Lorraine Kelly defends tense Esther McVey moment
"People, especially politicians, think they're coming on to do a cosy little show, and it's really not!" she said.Lorraine gave another example as she recalled having Jennifer Arcuri on the show."When Jennifer Arcuri was in … honest to God, I was sat in the studio watching her being all coy, going and she said literally nothing. "So I just said: 'What's the point of you being on?' "Who do you think you are to do that to the viewers? You should never take them for granted like that."Her comment was in relation to Jennifer's GMB interview in November 2019 when she criticised the American entrepreneur for "not saying anything" after agreeing to come on the programme."What's the point of you coming on TV to clear the air and then you don't say anything?" Lorraine asked.An unamused-looking Jennifer hit back: "I believe I said a few things."Meanwhile, in June 2019, Lorraine made headlines when she brushed off Susanna Reid's comment on whether her co-host still remembered once working with Esther on their GMTV days. Esther was sat in the studio as she waited for Lorraine's response.The former Daybreak star curtly replied: "Yep, Yes I do. "Right, coming up after half past eight…" Fans believed that Lorraine was implying she had nothing nice to say about her former colleague as the clip went on to amass millions of views online, having since become one of the most-watched viral videos from GMB.Later that day, during a Q&A session, Esther went into detail about her ties to the TV personality, saying: "We used to share a dressing room."And she used to be on the programme afterwards, and obviously she used to be partnered with Eamonn Holmes.
