Your support makes all the difference.Susanna Reid sent her best wishes to Piers Morgan as he was forced to miss Monday’s Good Morning Britain after developing “mild” coronavirus symptoms.
With her usual co-host awaiting results from his Covid-19 test, Reid was joined by Ben Shephard for presenting duties on the early morning programme.
The pair began the show with a message for Morgan, with Shephard joking: “As you can see, I’m not Piers,” and Reid shooting back that it was “therapeutic” not to have her usual co-presenter there.
“We send our very best wishes to Piers and we will be on our best behaviour when you’re not here,’ she continued.
The outspoken presenter is currently isolating at home until he receives the results of his test, which are expected to arrive today (Monday 4 May).
Announcing the news on Twitter on Sunday, he wrote: “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.”
