Well, it's all happening after Piers Morgan quit GMB after making those comments after that Meghan and Harry interview.

 

But the good news is, the show was today placed into the safe hands of our very own, Prestonian Ranvir Singh, following yesterday's debacle.

 

Despite this story continuing to dominate the headlines, here in Lancashire, plenty of other issues and people are on the news agenda.

 

The weather is making itself seen and heard, causing havoc on the roads this morning and currently biding its time, waiting to strike with rain and winds tonight.

 

Police have been busy finding a cannabis farm in Lostock Hall and a boy has been arrested for hurling stones at cars on busy Preston roads.

 

A cyber attack has blacked out hundreds of Lancashire students and  man has been charged with murder following the death of a pensioner in 2018.

 

Meanwhile we have an update on plans for two 'super' hospitals in Lancashire including their £1bn pound cost - where would that come from?

Have a happy Wednesday and top tip, take your umbrella on your daily walk!
