Earlier this morning, from The Huffington Post:
Piers Morgan, who on Monday dismissed Meghan Markle’s allegations of racist treatment by the British royal family, stormed off the set of his own show, “Good Morning Britain,” on Tuesday after being called out by co-presenter Alex Beresford for his relentless criticism of the Duchess of Sussex.
“OK. I’m done with this. Sorry. No. Sorry. You can trash me mate, but not on my own show,” Morgan told Beresford as he walked away.

Then, more recently, from the Twitter feed of the UK Chairman of the Broadcasting Press Guild and a Deadline.com reporter, Jake Kanter:
Couldn’t have happened to a nicer twit.
Piers seems so mad that he isn’t allowed to be as big of a bigoted arse as Trump was for five solid years. In a tantrum, the racist snowflake cancelled himself, it appears. Buh-bye. Ta.
TMZ confirms that he did, in fact, resign: www.tmz.com/...
Three cheers for Alex Beresford, who bravely called out Morgan’s repellent views on live TV.

Update 4:01pm ET — From ninkasi23 in the comments:
A tweet I saw earlier made a great analogy:
“and has nothing further to add” is Britspeak for “bless his heart”.
