BRING HIM BACK! Piers Morgan’s Shock GMB Return & Reunion With Susanna Reid Has Viewers Starting a Petition — “Absolutely Loved Him On There”

Five Years Later — And It Felt Like He Never Left

In March 2021, Piers Morgan walked off the set of Good Morning Britain and never came back. It was one of the most talked-about exits in British breakfast television history. Five years on, he walked back in — and within minutes, it was as though very little had changed.

The Reunion That Stopped Britain in Its Tracks

Piers made a surprise appearance on Good Morning Britain on Monday, coming face-to-face on air with Susanna Reid for the first time in years — in a reunion packed with hugs, laughter, teasing and the unmistakable chemistry that once made their morning partnership unmissable television.

When he appeared, Susanna and Ed Balls were mid-discussion on a political topic. Piers, being Piers, interrupted immediately.

“Hello, by the way!”

When Ed joked there was no time for pleasantries, Piers wasn’t having it: “I know you have, but at least say, ‘Lovely to see you back.'”

Susanna got up and greeted her former co-host with a warm hug. Ed followed. And just like that, the nation remembered exactly what it had been missing.

“This Is Very Unsettling” — They Were Actually Agreeing With Each Other

Perhaps the funniest moment of the entire reunion came when Piers and Susanna realised they were — shock horror — agreeing with each other.

“How come we agree? This is weird,” Susanna remarked.

“This is very unsettling,” Piers replied.

“Is this what happens when you have a break?” she joked.

Piers later described their former working relationship as something resembling an “intense marriage” — and suggested that five years apart had helpfully erased all the little irritations, leaving only the good memories behind. For viewers who remember their famously fiery debates, it was a warm and genuinely funny reflection on a partnership that defined an era of breakfast TV.

Susanna Reid: “WE WERE ON A BREAK!”

After the reunion aired, Susanna shared her reaction online — and true to form, she handled it with humour. She jokingly declared: “WE WERE ON A BREAK!” — a very deliberate Friends reference — and described Piers as the “ex” meeting the “current,” laughing that despite the potentially awkward setup, everything had gone completely smoothly.

She also made clear that despite the dramatic way things ended on screen — with plenty of fiery rows and theatrical clashes — she and Piers had remained genuine friends away from the cameras. That friendship was obvious to anyone watching Monday’s reunion.

Susanna even joked about her “hug omertà” — the unwritten rule about on-air affection — being finally broken now that they were in a completely different building. Piers immediately fired back. The old rhythm returned instantly. Some things don’t change.

Viewers Are Demanding He Comes Back — And Some Want a Petition

Once clips of the reunion began circulating online, the fan reaction was overwhelming — and not subtle. Viewers wasted no time sharing exactly what they thought.

One fan called for a petition outright: “Come back Piers. Loved watching when he was on.”

Another simply pleaded: “Come back Piers… was great to see you.”

A third put it plainly: “Absolutely loved him on GMB, he needs to be back!!!”

The reaction made one thing crystal clear: five years after his dramatic departure, Piers Morgan has most definitely not been forgotten. Whatever you think of him — and opinions on Piers are rarely neutral — his time alongside Susanna Reid left a mark on British breakfast television that no one else has quite managed to replicate since.

Could Piers Actually Return to GMB?

Whether Monday’s surprise appearance is a one-off or the beginning of something more permanent remains to be seen. Piers has kept himself very busy since leaving — with his own Piers Morgan Uncensored show and a global media presence that shows no sign of slowing down.

But if the viewer reaction to one brief reunion is anything to go by, the demand is there. The chemistry with Susanna is clearly still there. And if British breakfast TV has taught us anything, it’s that the unexpected always happens eventually.
