CHANNEL 5 EXTENDS PARTNERSHIP WITH PIERS MORGAN UNCENSORED THROUGH 2026

5 will continue to showcase a weekly 90’ highlights show - a compilation of the very best bits of YouTube channel Piers Morgan Uncensored - in what is believed to be the worlds-first collaboration between a YouTube current affairs show and a legacy broadcaster. 

5 commissioning editor Federico Ruiz said: "Once we got Piers on the channel, we weren’t going to let him go without a fight. Now more than ever we need his unique brand of fearless, no-nonsense journalism - and everything that comes with it."

Piers Morgan Uncensored has played out on YouTube since April 2022, having previously aired on TalkTV also. A bold, opinion-led news and debate show hosted by Piers Morgan, the series is distributed globally via YouTube and podcast platforms.

Featuring high-profile interviews, it blends journalism, debates and cultural commentary in a format that’s unapologetically direct. The show positions itself as a fearless platform for free speech, tackling controversial topics, challenging public figures, and hosting fiery debates which often make headlines. 5 will air a weekly round-up of the best interviews and debates on Uncensored - especially tailored for the 5 audience.

Piers Morgan previously said: “Piers Morgan Uncensored has become one of the world’s fastest growing and most popular YouTube news channels, racking up over a billion views in just three years. I’m really excited our show will be crashing onto British TV screens in a game-changing partnership with 5, bringing viewers the most explosive debates,  jaw-dropping interviews, and headline-grabbing moments every single week.” 

Piers Morgan Uncensored airs Friday nights on Channel 5.
