He told Mr Morgan he was confident he would succeed John Smith as Labour leader when Mr Smith died in 1994, and was devastated when Mr Blair beat him to the job.
Mr Brown confirmed reports dating back more than 15 years that Mr Blair promised to hand over power to him later if he stood aside for him in that initial contest. But he said the secret pact was not reached at the Granita restaurant in Islington, North London, as has been stated, but was agreed before then.
