It was a backlash to Piers Morgan’s comments about this interview that led to him walking away from presenting GMB alongside Reid.
Following Markle’s interview with Winfrey, Reid’s former GMB co-host Morgan attracted widespread criticism for saying he didn’t “believe a word she said” about having suicidal thoughts after joining the royal family.
“Goodness me, she put a rocket under practically everything frankly, from the royal family to this programme,” Reid said when discussing the new interview on Thursday’s episode of the ITV show.
“I do not bet Harry and Meghan want or need you to defend them,” one frustrated viewer wrote on Twitter.
