He will helm the show with Susanna Reid three days a week starting November.
“I am very excited at the prospect of waking up at 3am every morning, and even more excited by the thought of how annoying Susanna is going to find me after a few months," Morgan commented. "Good Morning Britain is a great show with a terrific team on and off screen. I’m looking forward to it enormously.”
ITV Director of Daytime, Helen Warner said: “We loved having Piers on the show earlier this year, so we're delighted that he's joining us permanently. He is an excellent interviewer and a great broadcaster, who fits in brilliantly with GMB's family of presenters.”
The corporate delight kept coming, with Managing Director of Daytime, ITV Studios, Emma Gormley adding: “We're proud of the strong show we've been building over the last 18 months and that audience figures are up some seven per cent year on year. We look forward to continuing that growth with Piers as part of the team.”
Morgan returns to Britain after a largely unsuccessful sojourn in the US.
He left CNN last September, six months after his show was cancelled following plummeting ratings.
