His inclusion on the show helped GMB reach some of its biggest ratings in it&#8217;s 11 years history.<\/p>\n<p class=\"Paragraph_paragraph-text__PVKlh \">However, he sensationally walked away from the show four years ago after hitting out at the Duke and Duchess of Sussex after they gave an interview with Oprah Winfrey.
