The controversial TV personality has dipped his toe into the reality TV waters on a few occasions - appearing on the celebrity version of ‘The Apprentice’ on both sides of the pond, as well as judging the first three years of ‘Britain’s Got Talent’ - but has now revealed that he had to draw the line at being a show that would have been titled ‘Piers Morgan Is Dead’.
In a new interview with The Sun, Piers admits that Channel 4 once offered him the chance to fake his own death, so they could record and analyse the public’s reaction.
“They said, ‘Obviously some people in your family would have to know it wasn’t real, maybe your mother’. I thought, ‘Yeah, and my kids maybe’.
“I told them, ‘I don’t think you’ll be seeing Princess Diana-like scenes if I die’. It was an independent company who had approached Channel Four, who were very keen on the idea.”
