Piers Morgan
Presenter Piers Morgan has pulled out of hosting a TV awards night after criticism of his support for Donald Trump.
The host of ITV's Good Morning Britain said he did not want to distract from award winners.
The Royal Television Society announced Mr Morgan as presenter of its programme awards on Thursday.
But many TV figures criticised the choice, including awards judge Bonnie Greer.
On Twitter, Ms Greer said that she was "honoured to be a judge" for the awards but would decline to attend the dinner because of Mr Morgan.
The playwright, novelist and critic cited Morgan's support of President Trump, who has attacked TV news organisations as "enemies of the American people".

Forced out for having a viable opinion?!!? supporting the president of the Usa? Leftist violence threats probably!
maybe he was hoping for some share tips
or perhaps he has a meal booked with j k rowling
who knows
So don't just copy and paste as per Facts...voice an opinion
Sure.Not a problem.
Morgan is an egotistical, arrogant bully boy, who is only employed to spew out his nonsensical ' controversial ' utterances.
His past scurrilous actives whilst editor of tabloids shows him to be a man of zero morals or integrity.
Male version of Katie Hopkins. Both thoroughly nasty pieces of work.
And as for being "persecuted out of employment" - I thought he was working every day on GMTV for a seven figure salary - after he moved back from LA after chasing the dosh over there.
People also have the right to disagree with them - which is what has led to these people refusing to attend if Morgan is in attendance - their right.
He has taken the decision to pull out - not the organisers.
But even they don't make a living out of being deliberate/scripted ' shock jocks' on a daily basis on prime time TV / on line media
'.....She and Farage are the only two presenters worth listening to on the airwaves currently.....'
Oh dear. I genuinely feel very sorry for you.

Exactly.
Morgan might have fronted it out and told anyone who detracted from the winners to go to hell and that the story wasn't him presenting the awards. If he chooses to act some other way because of what Bonnie Greer might do well that's up to him
Piers Morgan is a cowardly narcissistic bore who makes his money trolling the uneducated and bullying third rate minds on twitter and his tawdry little television appearances. He doesn't support Trump. He's hedged his bets very carefully on this, but he's quite happy to chase clicks from the window-lickers churning out the same old libtard bashing nonsense whilst still being careful not to endorse Trump directly.
This has nothing to do with no-platforming either, it's about his being chosen to represent people and an organisation who should have known better.
