Kate Garaway Succeeds Pierce Morgan As Host Of ITV Life Stories.

In a tweet on Thursday, the host announced that his former partner from Good Morning in the UK, Kate Garaway, would be taking over the program. The news comes seven months layer Morgan left GMB after controversially criticizing the Duchess of Sussex.

Life Stories is his last remaining ITV project. He will now host a new global television show owned by Rupert Murdoch News Corp and Fox News Media. Pierce Morgan's life story began in 2009, and he interviewed celebrities from Sharon Osborne and singer Cheryl to then Prime Minister Gordon Brown.

"I'm leaving Life Stories after 12 years and 100 shows," he said of the program, including Captain Sir Tom Moore, Katie Price, Sir Richard Branson, and Sir Cyrus Starmer.

"Lastly, I will be with my good friend Kate Garaway, and she will be presenting three other scheduled shows from the next series when I leave ITV to host my new global daily show. It was so much fun!" In March, Morgan caused a stir by leaving Good Morning in the UK and then going for good following scandalous comments he made about the Duchess of Sussex.

Media caption Pierce Morgan: Ofcom's decision says, "I have every right not to believe them."

In an interview about her mental health, media regulator Ofcom received a record 58,000 complaints from Morgan's comments that she "didn't believe a word," Megan Oprah Winfrey said. But ITV was cleared by Ofcom, with Morgan saying it was "ridiculous" that he had lost his job and that the decision was a "huge win for free speech."

The presenter's new show will be broadcast on the newly formed in the UK, Nation in the US, and News Australia: "We would like to thank Pierce for more than a hundred interesting, engaging and insightful life stories over the past 12 years, in which the people he interviewed included the best names from show business, business, and politics.

"We wish her the very good in all her future endeavors. Kate is a brilliant journalist and inquisitive interviewer, and we look forward to the next three shows." Garraway, who recently documented her husband's long struggle with the coronavirus, said she was looking forward to taking control. It's a big deal, but I'm always happy to be able to talk to people, both in the air and off," he said.

"Everyone has a story to tell, also the great thing about this show is that you have time to venture into areas of the guests' lives that audiences may no longer know. "It's also an opportunity to learning  more about things we already know (good and bad) and hear them in their own words."
