What has Piers Morgan said about his new job?
Piers has said a number of things regarding his new job following his enigmatic Tweet.
“I’m thrilled to be returning to News Corp which is where I began my media career more than 30 years ago”, he wrote.

“I’m going home and we’re going to have some fun.”
His return was branded a “bigger comeback than Cristiano Ronaldo” by The Sun’s Editor-in-Chief Victoria Newton.
During The Sun’s Who Cares Wins Awards, Piers teased his new project, after stating he was looking for a “new TV wife.”
“Have patience, it won’t be long”, he told The Sun, adding “it’s a lot bigger than GMB.”
“It’s not fighting talk, it’s just a lot bigger. You’ll see soon.”
He then referenced his former GMB co-host Susanna Reid with: “You never know, I might be auditioning for new wives.”
