Piers Morgan has accused Meghan Markle of putting "huge pressure" on ITV bosses to fire him over his Good Morning Britain rant.
The TV presenter caused huge controversy and over 50,000 complaints, including one from the Duchess of Sussex herself, when he ranted about Prince Harry and Meghan's interview with Oprah Winfrey, saying he doesn't believe anything she says, including her admission that she suffered from suicidal thoughts.
He quit GMB just a day after he had the rant, and Piers has now claimed that Meghan wanted him sacked from the show.
Speaking on US TV show Extra, Piers said: "It was certainly a very interesting revelation from where I sit, because clearly she was trying to put huge pressure on my bosses to take action against me."

Piers also claimed he'd been sent messages sent on behalf of "several" royals in support of his comments about the Oprah interview.
He went on: "I've had some messages communicated to me on behalf on several members of the Royal Family.
"I'm not going to go into who it was... but gratitude that somebody was standing up."

He also said people had tried to cancel him after he voiced his opinion about Meghan.
Piers continued: "There's been an attempt to cancel me.
"There've been many attempts like this before, and somehow I remain resolutely uncancelled.

"In the end, I was required to apologise for disbelieving Meghan Markle, who I don't believe - and I believe, which is ironic, that you should not believe somebody if you don't want to."
The Mirror has contacted ITV and reps for Meghan Markle for comment.
Piers made several shocking claims in his interview with Extra.
