PIERS Morgan has revealed he’s already back working at ITV a week after he quit Good Morning Britain.
The controversial broadcaster told his 7.8 million Twitter followers today: “Reports of my ITV demise have been greatly exaggerated…. I’m back already.”

The 55-year-old star plugged his Life Stories interview with Coleen Nolan, which is airing on the channel tonight at 9pm.
Yesterday he insisted he was “still working” with ITV and “wasn’t fired” after his showdown with channel bosses.
The presenter sensationally quit Good Morning Britain after six years following comments about Meghan Markle’s interview with Oprah Winfrey.
Piers said he “didn’t believe a word Meghan said” after she told the US chat show host she was suicidal while living in England.
He was condemned by mental health charities and sparked more than 57,000 complaints to broadcasting watchdog Ofcom.
And his unwillingness to apologise for his remarks left him at loggerheads with bosses, prompting him to walk away.
The following day he stood by his comments and last night brushed off the record-breaking number of complaints.
He tweeted: “Only 57,000? I’ve had more people than that come up & congratulate me in the street for what I said. The vast majority of Britons are right behind me.”
Piers had fumed on air: “I don’t believe a word she says, Meghan Markle. I wouldn’t believe a weather report if she read it.
“The fact she has expressed an onslaught against our Royal Family is contemptible.”
He later clashed with co-star Alex Beresford when the 40-year-old accused the host of “trashing” Meghan.
At that, Piers got out of his seat and stormed out of the studio saying: “Sorry, see you later, I can’t do this.”
