Piers Morgan has hit out at his former Good Morning Britain colleague Alex Beresford for his role in him leaving the show.
The outspoken presenter quit the ITV breakfast show in March 2021 after he criticised Meghan Markle for her infamous 'tell-all' interview with Oprah Winfrey.
Beresford - one of the programme's weather presenters - was participating in a panel debate about the Duchess of Sussex when he turned on Morgan and accused him of "diabolical behaviour".
"I don't mind a guest doing that but I do object to someone who had asked to come on the show, who is on the team, who then makes a very personal attack on me," Morgan told Amol Rajan for his BBC Two show.
"And so in that moment I thought, there's two things that are going to happen here. Either I am going to completely lose my rag and do something I regret or I am going to go and walk off.
"I don't like to think about what I would have done but I was certainly looking at him thinking... yeah, I think I'd better leave the room.
"And just for the record I think he was a treacherous little prick.
"So he can say what he likes about me and he can absolutely have his right to his opinion. That is my opinion about him."
