Piers Morgan has announced he is stepping down as host of ITV's 'Life Stories' after 12 years, with Kate Garraway set to take over the programme. The final episode hosted by Morgan will feature Garraway as his guest, after which she will present the remaining three shows of the next series.
Morgan confirmed the news on Twitter, stating that he is leaving the show to focus on a new global daily programme for News Corp and Fox News Media. His departure from 'Life Stories' marks the end of his last remaining ITV project, following his exit from 'Good Morning Britain' in March after controversial comments about the Duchess of Sussex.
An ITV spokeswoman thanked Morgan for his contributions over the years and wished him well. She praised Garraway as a brilliant journalist and inquisitive interviewer, expressing anticipation for her upcoming episodes.
Garraway, who has been documenting her husband's battle with COVID-19, said she is looking forward to the opportunity. She noted that the show allows for in-depth conversations, giving viewers insight into guests' lives.
