[10] On 6 June 2022, TalkTV aired a two-hour special of the show to cover that day's Conservative Party vote of confidence in the leadership of Boris Johnson.

[19] During an interview with The Times in February 2024, Morgan announced that the show was leaving TalkTV to move to his YouTube channel due to the "unnecessary straightjacket" of television scheduling that prevented him from conducting in-depth interviews, and because of poor viewing figures on TalkTV, which were in the tens of thousands compared to the YouTube channel's 2.3 million subscribers.

Responding on Twitter the following day, Morgan posted a link to a Sun article that reported her own show, Steph's Packed Lunch had recorded zero viewers when it was launched in 2020 along with the comment: "Hear you were gobbing off about my @PiersUncensored ratings on #HIGFY last night @StephLunch – you sure you're the best person to do that?".

[53][54][55][56] Following the interview, which aired in two parts on 16 and 17 November, United began seeking "appropriate steps", a legal action over whether Ronaldo had breached his contract.
