Good Morning Britain presenter Susanna Reid addressed reports on Monday, October 12, regarding speculation that her former co-host, Piers Morgan, could make a return to Britain’s Got Talent for the show’s upcoming 20th anniversary celebrations.
The morning television segment followed widespread media reports, including coverage from aol.co.uk and dailystar.co.uk, suggesting that ITV producers were considering bringing back familiar faces for a special milestone event for the hit talent program.
Piers Morgan originally served as a judge on Britain’s Got Talent from its launch in 2007 alongside fellow judges Simon Cowell and Amanda Holden, remaining with the show until his departure in 2010. Recent speculation linked him to potential comeback discussions as producers begin mapping out plans for the anniversary.
Addressing the rumors directly on air, Reid revealed to viewers that she reached out to her former colleague to find out if there was any truth to the speculation.
“I asked him about the reports, and he simply responded with a laughing emoji,” Reid told viewers during the broadcast.
While Morgan’s text message response remained playful and non-committal, the exchange added fuel to the ongoing public interest surrounding a potential television reunion. Neither ITV nor Morgan has officially confirmed any formal negotiations regarding a return to the judging panel.
The History of Piers Morgan on Britain’s Got Talent
During his initial four-year tenure on Britain’s Got Talent, Morgan became known for his sharp critiques and memorable clashes with contestants alongside Simon Cowell. His exit in 2010 marked the end of an era for the original judging lineup, which helped launch the show into a global television phenomenon.
As ITV continues to develop plans for the program’s landmark 20th anniversary, fans and media outlets have speculated on whether original cast members will return to celebrate the milestone. For now, however, Morgan’s cryptic emoji response leaves his potential involvement entirely open to interpretation.
