AN MP has said we should not question those who open up about their mental health after presenter Piers Morgan's critical remarks.

The Good Morning Britain presenter caused controversy after he doubted Meghan Markle's claims that she felt suicidal during her time as a working royal.

Morgan’s comments prompted an on-air row with a colleague on Tuesday, which led him to storm off set as tensions heightened.

In the wake of the comments, ITV has faced an Ofcom investigation after 41,000 complaints over Morgan's remarks, including one sent on Meghan’s behalf.

South Lakes MP, Tim Farron said those opening up about mental health should not be questioned about whether they are telling the truth.

He said: “Whatever your views on the Royal Family, Meghan Markel or Piers Morgan, we should all be united in taking mental health seriously.

“If we want to end the stigma around mental health, then that has to start with supporting people who say they are struggling – not using big public platforms to call them liars.

“If someone told us they had cancer or COVID-19, our first reaction wouldn’t be to question if they are telling the truth – why should it be any different for mental health?”

ITV has since announced that Morgan has announced his departure from Good Morning Britain.

Gazette readers were divided over Prince Harry and Meghan Markle's tell-all interview with television host Oprah Winfrey.

Sandra Holme said: "The royal family is just like all families. Who on this planet can say they are not guilty of saying things you wish you hadn't. Just awful that a lot of money has been made by people who are supposed to hate the media.

"Shameful and disgusting behaviour."

David Thomson said: "Imagine a woman publicly announcing she felt suicidal and almost the entire UK media and half the nation call her a liar."

Jill Davidson said: "We have only one side of the story."

Kathryn Burrow said: "No one remember what happened to Diana. Be kinder."
