Good Morning Britain's Piers Morgan will be taking time out of the show after developing coronavirus symptoms.

The presenter took to Twitter on Sunday (May 3) to reveal he's been showing a "mild symptom" of COVID-19 over the past 48 hours, and has subsequently taken a test “out of an abundance of caution”.

While he waits for the results of his test, Piers will not be working on the ITV morning show.

He tweeted: "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.”

Good Morning Britain airs every weekday on ITV from 6am.
