Susanna Reid Addresses Piers Morgan ITV Return Reports
Susanna Reid has responded to reports that Piers Morgan could return to Britain's Got Talent, with the Good Morning Britain presenter discussing the speculation on ITV after Morgan reacted to reports about a possible comeback as the show approaches its 20th anniversary.
According to AOL, Morgan was a Britain's Got Talent judge from the show's launch in 2007 until 2010 and has not denied speculation that he could return. He responded to a report about "two huge stars" making a comeback with a pair of eyes emoji.
Reid said she contacted her former co-host about the reports, and she said Morgan's response did not reject the possibility of a return.
"Then I noticed that he wasn't denying it. Whatever happens, he definitely wants us to talk about it." said Susanna Reid, Good Morning Britain presenter.
Reid also discussed Morgan's previous comments about his time on the Britain's Got Talent judging panel, where he appeared alongside Simon Cowell and Amanda Holden.
"He has always said that in its hey day, when he was on the judging panel, Britain's Got Talent had its highest ratings, its greatest appeal. So what do they need?" said Susanna Reid, Good Morning Britain presenter.
She continued by suggesting what Morgan believes the show needs as producers consider anniversary plans.
"They need Piers Morgan back on the judging panel." said Susanna Reid, Good Morning Britain presenter.
Morgan left the Britain's Got Talent judging panel in 2010, saying he needed to focus on his CNN program, Piers Morgan Live.
"There's been considerable speculation about what my new CNN job means for my role on Britain's Got Talent. Well, sadly, I can now confirm that I will have to quit BGT, as I will be ensconced in New York interviewing popes, presidents, pugilists and popstars when the auditions are filmed next year," said Piers Morgan, former Britain's Got Talent judge.
Morgan later said ITV bosses contacted him about returning to the panel in 2020 after Simon Cowell was injured.
"I was approached several times to go back to Britain's Got Talent when Simon Cowell got injured," said Piers Morgan, former Britain's Got Talent judge.
A source cited by The Sun said producers were planning anniversary celebrations and considering former figures associated with the program. The source described a possible guest judging role for Morgan during auditions.
"A 20th anniversary extravaganza is in the works as producers work out which familiar faces to bring back to celebrate the huge milestone," said a source cited by The Sun.
The source also referenced the previous relationship between Morgan, Cowell and Holden while discussing possible anniversary appearances.
"Simon, Piers and Amanda had such fun chemistry. The idea would be to bring Piers back as a guest judge for the January auditions." said a source cited by The Sun.
