The former Good Morning Britain host said Wright would have voiced her opinions regardless of appearing on the show, saying “the reality of the modern world is that pretty much everyone had a platform as long as they have something to say that other people want to hear”.
He added: “That’s why we invited [Wright] on to be interviewed. The people making these claims have an audience with or without shows like mine.”
But Morgan said that now he had heard from the couple’s lawyers, they would edit Wright’s allegations out of the show.
He then offered a direct apology, saying: “Editing interviews is not something we do lightly at a show called Uncensored.
“But like the proverbial cries of fire in a crowded theatre, there are legal limits on us, too. And we apologise to Jay-Z and Beyoncé.”
