Piers Morgan pulling out of Good Morning Britain after suffering 'coronavirus symptoms'

The 55-year-old host tweeted that he has experienced mild symptoms of the disease in the past 48 hours.

Morgan has now had a test for Covid-19 and will not be back in the studio until the test results come back.

He tweeted: “UPDATE: On medical advice, and out of an abundance of caution for a mild symptom that arose in the past 48hrs, I’ve had a test for Covid-19 and so won’t be working on @GMB until I get the result back, which should be tomorrow.”

The host was due to appear on the ITV show alongside Susanna Reid tomorrow.
