Piers Morgan taking break from programme as ratings show viewers have taken break from him

It seems that Piers Morgan’s draw on the public is fading.

He is about to take a six-week break from his show as the viewing figures have shown that it hasn’t been much of a success.

His programme Piers Morgan: Uncensored has been drawing in under 30,000 souls. Figures from Wednesday (18 May) showed that his audience was only 24,000. One assumes the commissioners were expecting a lot more eyeballs.

However, Morgan was called a “c***” by one of his guests, which did go viral.

He was also slammed for interviewing a member of the Taliban.

A recent report revealed that Rupert Murdoch’s TalkTV has been rated as having “zero viewers” during certain points during primetime broadcasts.

It is thought that Morgan’s six-week break is a pre-scheduled and planned summer holiday, and he could work on his true-crime series on the same network.
