Shhh! Piers is irreplacea­ble

-

DON’T tell Piers Morgan – but ITV chiefs are in ‘despair’ over their failure to find a man to step into his shoes on Good Morning Britain. Hoping to recapture Morgan’s popularity with viewers and his chemistry with co-host Susanna Reid, GMB bosses have spent months testing out candidates but none was deemed a suitable replacemen­t, so they will instead rotate male stand-in hosts. A source said: ‘No one thought that almost a year on they still wouldn’t have found anyone. It didn’t occur to bosses that many of the big presenters would rule themselves out because they are friends with Piers.’ Morgan left GMB last March after refusing to apologise for his comments about Meghan Markle’s mental health.
