The former Good Morning Britain presenter has shared news of his departure from the UK television channel to continue his career on YouTube.

Various reports have quoted Morgan saying that he felt restricted by the TalkTV channel. He will now be able to enjoy more freedom on YouTube as he will no longer be regulated by Ofcom. (Ofcom is the government-approved regulatory and competition authority for the broadcasting, telecommunications, and postal industries of the United Kingdom.)

The award-winning journalist's channel on YouTube currently has 2.35 million subscribers.

The presenter joined TalkTV in 2022, one year on from his Good Morning Britain departure.
