The CBS daytime discussion show The Talk is returning to screens on Monday following a month-long hiatus after Sharon Osbourne left the program amid controversy. .

Osbourne's departure came following a heated exchange between herself and co-host Sheryl Underwood over a debate that saw her spring to the defense of her friend, and fellow Brit, Piers Morgan, over accusations of racism.

Sharon Osbourne left The Talk after defending her friend Piers Morgan's criticism of Meghan Markle.

On The Talk, Osbourne defended Morgan in an on-air debate with co-host Sheryl Underwood, which turned heated as Osbourne demanded 'educate me' on how Morgan is racist.

The network said its internal inquiry said the show's co-hosts, including Osbourne and Sheryl Underwood, were not properly prepared by the show's team for a discussion on race.

Osbourne (far right) and Underwood (second from left) got into a heated exchange over Osbourne's support for her friend Piers Morgan (third from left), who has come under fire for comments he made about Meghan Markle and Prince Harry.

During the discussion of Morgan, Underwood asked Osbourne, 'What would you say to people who may feel that, while you're standing by your friend, it appears that you gave validation or safe haven to something that he has uttered that is racist, even if you don't agree?'.

Osbourne replied angrily, using words that were bleeped out, and said she felt like she was being placed on 'the electric chair' for having a friend that some people think is racist. .

'I very much feel like I'm about to be put in the electric chair because I have a friend, who many people think is a racist, so that makes me a racist?' she said. .

Earlier this week, Piers Morgan praised Osbourne for defending his right to an opinion even at the cost of her job, accusing CBS of 'hypocrisy' for forcing her out at The Talk

And my God has she paid for that loyalty,' Morgan said of Osbourne (with him above)

After The Talk went on hiatus allegations emerged that Osbourne had made racist or otherwise crass remarks about co-hosts behind the scenes at the show.
