British journalist, Piers Morgan has announced that he will temporarily step back from presenting ITV’s flagship morning show Good Morning Britain after developing a “mild” COVID-19 symptom.

Morgan tweeted late last night:

“On medical advice, and out of an abundance of caution for a mild symptom that arose in 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.”

Ben Shephard and Susanna Reid will take Pier Morgan’s place as the host of Good Morning Britain amid Coronavirus fears.

The announcement comes days Piers Morgan ended his 15-year friendship with Donald Trump with a brutal open letter to the US president after Trump unfollowed him on Twitter for criticizing his approach to the Coronavirus.
