SINCE Piers Morgan sensationally quit Good Morning Britain in March 2021, there has been much speculation about who will replace him.

Although nothing has been confirmed, he is the current bookies favourite to take over the role permanently. He told The Sun earlier in June 2021: Good Morning Britain, its a good show to do. It suits me and, yeah, I think I suit it.  We revealed in April 2021 how Richard had become the front-runner for the plum role, with bosses looking to extend the deal if he proved a hit. 3 Piers quit GMB back in March 2021 Credit: Rex  He said: Whether Im going to be asked to take over, I have no idea. I have had no approach at any level formally or informally. The phone hasnt rung, I havent had a ping into my inbox.
