Piers Morgan would run for Prime Minister if it's what the public wanted.

The 'Good Morning Britain' presenter has suggested he isn't opposed to the idea of leading the UK after focusing on the world of politics and holding the government to account during the coronavirus pandemic.
Asked about the possibility, he told The Sun newspaper: "As for politics… listen, if it’s my turn to serve, and the people want me… Who am I to ignore the will of the people?"
On the ITV breakfast show on Tuesday (27.01.21), Peter Andre and Mark Wright backed his bid to take over Downing Street and starred in his tongue-in-cheek campaign video.
'GMB' has seen its rating soar over the past six years with its audience share doubling from 14 to 28% since he joined in 2015.
Piers added: "The key to our success is that we can't be ignored. Whether you love us or hate us, we debate all the issues that people in this country are debating amongst themselves.
"The more serious the news has got, it's interesting that people have gravitated towards us rather than the BBC which is, historically, where they would have gone.
"And I think that's because viewers are getting opinion rather than just information - and that's resonating with them. We have captured the zeitgeist and mood of the country a lot better than 'BBC Breakfast.' "
Piers even suggested his show could be poised to "overtake" their rivals by the end of 2021.
He suggested: "I think it's very likely we will overtake them in the ratings by the end of the year which will be an extraordinary achievement.
"You can see that there's real movement now. They're not moving, and we're moving relentlessly upwards."
