Piers Morgan has tested negative for coronavirus after coming down with symptoms over the weekend. The former newspaper editor, 55, took a day off work at Good Morning Britain as a "precaution" and managed to get tested for Covid-19.
He has now had the results back, and shared the update with his Twitter followers. He posted: "My COVID-19 test was negative.
I was advised to take the test by my doctor after developing possible coronavirus symptoms, and was entitled to do so as a Govt-designated essential worker. "I'll be back on @GMB as soon as my doctor advises I'm OK to return to work," he added.
On Sunday, Piers told fans he'd have to take a step back from GMB after suffering mild symptoms and was awaiting the result of a test.
