In what has been an eventful few hours, Piers Morgan quits Good Morning Britain only hours after a video made the rounds of him storming off the set.
It should be noted, however, that this isn't being framed as the polarizing broadcaster quitting, but the always 100 percent true “mutual parting” of the ways.
Here's the release from ITV:

Piers Morgan quits Good Morning Britain Origin (Likely)
Earlier on, a video of Piers Morgan storming off the set after the host of Good Morning Britain took issue with his handling of Meghan Markle conversations made the rounds on Twitter. In the video, which we covered here, it appears the man who loves to dish it just can't take it.
Morgan, who is often found in the middle of scandalous takes on social media or his various television platforms, can obviously afford to make such a drastic move in reaction to… his own overreaction?
Nonetheless, Good Morning Britain comes out smelling like roses here, as the PR they've received since the video first went viral has been mostly positive, and this will do nothing other than solidify their standing — especially and primarily from those who live outside their viewing market, as this will be their only point of reference.
Nonetheless, Piers Morgan quits Good Morning Britain and that appears to be that. Well, until whatever legal tomfoolery probably comes out of this.
