Dan Walker, Piers Morgan's former morning show rival, has said that there is a "decent bloke" beneath all of the "froth" and the insults that Morgan throws around.
Walker talked about the rivalry between the two breakfast shows, writing: "Piers and I have had a friendly rivalry, but it has been good for 'BBC Breakfast' and 'GMB.'"
"He likes to throw a few insults around, but underneath all the froth I think there is a decent bloke fighting to get out," Walker wrote.
Morgan was known for his abrasive and confrontational style as host of "Good Morning, Britain," and often got into shouting matches with guests on his show.
"The idea that you've not done a good job unless you demand resignations and rant at the interviewee is laughable," Walker said, referring to Morgan's combative style. "I don't want you to know my opinion. I have no problem being seen as the more measured presenter."
Walker wrote that his morning show and "GMB" are "very different programmes" with very different styles, but wrote that he does think the latter does "a good job."
