Background

Piers Morgan is a British broadcaster who hosts the interview show Piers Morgan Uncensored on YouTube. In mid-October 2026 Volodymyr Zelenskyy told him "we are losing a strong partner", as Ukraine's dealings with Donald Trump soured after Kyiv abandoned the energy truce.

Born in 1965, Morgan edited the News of the World in 1994-95 and then the Daily Mirror, until the paper sacked him in May 2004 over fake photographs of British soldiers abusing Iraqi prisoners. He co-hosted ITV's Good Morning Britain from 2015 to 2021.

Uncensored began on TalkTV in 2022 and moved to YouTube in 2024. Since September 2025 Channel 5 has aired a weekly highlights programme cut from the YouTube episodes, which puts his interviews back on British terrestrial television.
