The two TV personalities were caught taking a stroll around luxury areas of London last week, deep in conversation. We now learn that the two ‘discussed the possibility of working together’ according to a source.
‘During their three-hour walk, Piers and Simon discussed the possibility of working together, and the hope is that Piers will come on board,’ they said.
Another source close to Piers has said that the famous TV news anchor was ‘bombarded’ with offers after his shock resignation from his morning TV role this week.
The source revealed: ‘Overnight he was flooded with offers and suggestions for new deals — some pretty interesting ones, plus a few wild and wacky offers which he had a laugh about.’
‘Given a few legal sensitivities ongoing with ITV, Piers won’t be making any major announcements just yet though.’
Morgan continues, however, working as a columnist at the Daily Mail Online whilst also making regular interviews on channels such as Fox News on trending political topics.
