Piers Morgan has admitted that he believes the coronavirus pandemic has made him a "better person". The GMB presenter, 55, was involved in an emotional chat with Hassan Akkad, a hospital cleaner who called for the NHS bereavement scheme to include low-paid workers who have been struck down by the virus.
Hassan is originally a filmmaker from Syria but jetted to the UK to help the NHS during the pandemic. After he spoke out about the bereavement scheme, the government made an extreme u-turn on Wednesday.
Following the interview, Piers told Hassan: "You’re such an eloquent voice, I think, for so many people, for all the cleaners, the porters, the cooks that everybody, frankly, who works in the health system, and you do it for £8.50 an hour. "
