Meghan and Harry on Oprah: the media fallout

Piers Morgan looks for a new job and other aftershocks of the historic royal interview.

The Duke and Duchess of Sussex's interview with Oprah Winfrey delivered record ratings for ITV: at its peak, 12.4m viewers were watching, the broadcaster's biggest audience since the 2019 Rugby World Cup final.

What does Morgan's departure say about the future of highly-opinionated journalism in British media?

Guests: Andrew Neil, chairman of GB News, Professor Jane Martinson, City University, Benjamin Cohen, CEO PinkNews, and Scott Bryan, TV critic
