Piers Morgan’s Uncensored has been valued at $145 million (around £108 million) by investors, just 18 months after the broadcaster took full ownership of the brand, and five years after ITV parted company with him over his refusal to apologise for comments about Meghan Markle.
Morgan confirmed the figure in an interview with Karl Stefanovic on Australia’s Today show, days after closing a $27 million funding round for the business. The raise was led by Raine and Greek media group Antenna, with strategic backers including Elisabeth Murdoch and the billionaire Reuben brothers, Simon and David.
“We announced yesterday we’ve just finished an investor round on Uncensored,” Morgan said. “The investors have valued the business $145 million US.”
The valuation caps a remarkable turnaround for a presenter who walked off the Good Morning Britain set in March 2021 and left ITV shortly afterwards, having refused to apologise for his remarks about the Duchess of Sussex. Set against his reported £1.1 million-a-year ITV salary, the valuation is worth roughly a century of his old pay packet.
From one-man show to media network
Morgan bought the Uncensored brand outright from Rupert Murdoch’s News UK in early 2025, abandoning linear television for a YouTube-first model. “I’ve only owned it a year and a half,” he told Stefanovic. “We’ve got a business worth nearly $150 million in 18 months.”
