Piers Morgan may have stormed off the sets of 'Good Morning Britain' after being called out for his nasty comments against Meghan Markle following her bombshell, vulnerable interview, but it looks like his career might not get affected by this at all. 

Sources close to the British broadcaster, journalist, writer, and television personality now reveal that he is now spoilt for choice as he's already been "bombarded" with offers overnight.

Meghan Markle lodged complaint against Piers Morgan after former 'GMB' host said he didn't 'believe her': Report

After he walked off from the sets of 'Good Morning Britain', insiders reveal that he enjoyed a £400 (~ $557) bottle of Krug and a cigar. According to reports, he even had his favorite takeaway — chicken tikka masala and pilau rice.

A source reveals that there is no dearth of job offers for him since walking out of GMB. "From the outset, all Piers wanted to do was turn around Good Morning Britain’s fortunes and make the show a force to be reckoned with. Thanks to some barnstorming rants, genuine world exclusives and simple, ingenious programming, he did exactly that," a source said, adding, "His partnership with Susanna Reid was nigh-on perfect. Their chemistry was incomparable, as the pair’s final-day figures show, on Tuesday, he and Susanna drew in 1.89 million viewers. Their bitter rivals, BBC Breakfast, got just 1.76million."

Speaking of change, the source added, "Piers has nothing left to prove, and someone as mercurial and talented as him is never going to sit still for long. It’s time for a new challenge. 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."

But viewers might not see Morgan back on their TVs soon. "Given a few legal sensitivities ongoing with ITV, Piers won't be making any major announcements just yet though."

Fans miss him on 'Good Morning Britain'

Even with all these new offers, Morgan's fans demand he return to GBM. According to a poll conducted by The Sun, so much is Morgan's popularity that 57 percent of readers said they would be switching off GMB now that Piers was quitting. 

In a new petition titled, "Save Piers Morgan from being sacked from GMB", over 38,682 fans signed to get him back on board. "This is an absolute farce", the petition read. "This man has stuck by our NHS when many others didn’t care including our government! He confronts the politicians on questions many of us want answering! He sponsored sir captain Tom £10,000 to start him off to support our NHS! Please sign this petition and share it on, give him the support that he has given us as NHS workers!"

Earlier this week, another petition to "remove Piers Morgan from GMB" got 93,000 signatures, but he had reportedly laughed it off.
