It comes shortly after GB News claimed a similar title for itself.

TalkTV has claimed that Piers Morgan Uncensored is “the world’s fastest-growing current affairs Youtube channel” after it hit two million subscribers.

Morgan’s programme launched on Youtube 18 months ago, and has more than three times as many subscribers on the platform than TalkTV’s main channel.

The announcement comes two weeks after competitor opinion-led channel GB News pronounced itself “officially the fastest-growing British news provider ever” on Youtube. The channel’s Youtube account passed one million subscribers in September and one billion views last month.
