Despite leaving his job as one of the presenters of Good Morning Britain, it seems that Piers Morgan may already have his next gig lined up.

After he was spotted on a walk with Simon Cowell, who gave Piers his first break on primetime TV as a judge on Britain’s Got Talent, a source close to Simon revealed, “During their three-hour walk, Piers and Simon discussed the possibility of working together, and the hope is that Piers will come on board.

"The format needs shaking up, and obviously Piers has form with this.”

And it appears that Simon’s not the only one…

Despite being a controversial figure, to put it mildly, Piers Morgan has apparently already been “bombarded” with offers overnight after his on-air bust-up with weatherman Alex Beresford.

"Piers has nothing left to prove, and someone as mercurial and talented as him is never going to sit still for long. It’s time for a new challenge," a source told The Sun.

They added, "Overnight he was flooded with offers and suggestions for new deals - some pretty interesting ones, plus a few wild and wacky offers which he had a laugh about.

"Given a few legal sensitivities ongoing with ITV, Piers won’t be making any major announcements just yet though.”

'There's no way back for Harry and Meghan now'

Wait, Harry and Meghan had a secret wedding before their big day?

Over 40,000 complaints were made to broadcasting watchdog Ofcom about Piers' comments about Meghan Markle's interview with Oprah, but he stood by his criticism of the Duchess as she broke his silence on his Good Morning Britain departure earlier this week.

“On Monday, I said I didn’t believe Meghan Markle in her Oprah interview. I’ve had time to reflect on this opinion, and I still don’t. If you did, OK," he wrote on Twitter.

"Freedom of speech is a hill I’m happy to die on. Thanks for all the love, and hate. I’m off to spend more time with my opinions.”
