It comes after he controversially quit the weekday morning show in March over his remarks on the Duke and Duchess of Sussex's interview with Oprah Winfrey.
While he wouldn't name names, Piers claimed a "third-party" has been in contact to see if he would consider returning to the hugely popular ITV programme, which is still yet to announce his permanent replacement.
