Television host, PIERS Morgan today admitted he went “too far” in his treatment of Uk government ministers on Good Morning Britain, after facing a government ban by the British government, but insisted that he has “no regrets”.
The television host, known for often being too confrontational with his guests, explained that the pandemic had impacted him through its effect on close friend Kate Garraway’s husband’s plight with coronavirus. He said it made him “more angry” at the government’s “shambolic” leadership.
Morgan was appearing on This Morning earlier today to promote his new book Wake Up and Life Stories, where he discussed the ban imposed on Mps against Morgan’s Good Morning television show with hosts Holly Willoughby and Phillip Schofield.
He said: “Sometimes I know that I probably went a little too far but I was genuinely angry.”I had work colleagues, Kate Garraway’s husband, in a coma. I had three friends who lost their parents in care homes. I had others who narrowly escaped and nearly died.
“I do feel if you were that closely touched by it… It made me so angry, in my view, the way they mishandled it.”
He said: “In terms of the government ban on Good Morning Britain, it has now been 134 days, I don’t regret a damn thing I did with those government ministers”.
“I think they have been a total shambles in this pandemic, I’ve made no secret of it.
“I think so many more people died who shouldn’t have died, I think what they did with our care homes is a national disgrace, so I make no apology for holding their feet to the fire.”
