IS RICHARD Bacon about to replace Piers Morgan as host of Good Morning Britain?

Last week Piers declared on social media that he was ‘irreplaceable’ – and dashing Richard, right, was quick to comment, posting ‘ish’ underneath. Agents usually clear these things up swiftly if they aren’t true, but curiously Richard’s spokesman said, cryptically: ‘I’ve spoken to him but he doesn’t wish to comment at this time.’

Previously, Richard has said, modestly, that he isn’t good enough to replace Piers and quipped he’s ‘too gameshow’ to do things like interview politicians about Afghanistan. But perhaps the main problem with the new job would be the commute… as he lives in LA!
