ITV confirmed Morgan's departure from the program in a Tuesday statement to USA TODAY: "Following discussions with ITV, Piers Morgan has decided now is the time to leave 'Good Morning Britain.' ITV has accepted this decision and has nothing further to add."
The U.K's Office of Communication reported receiving more than 41,000 complaints from the public regarding Morgan's comments on the Sunday interview with the Duke and Duchess of Sussex.
"We have launched an investigation into Monday’s episode of Good Morning Britain under our harm and offence rules," the communications spokesperson told USA TODAY Tuesday.
