Piers Morgan will take time off from Good Morning Britain while awaiting the results of a coronavirus test.
The 55-year-old presenter started feeling unwell over the weekend and will stay out of the show “as a precaution.”
He had been going to the London studio every morning and putting on makeup to comply with the rules of social distancing.
Morgan tweeted on Sunday night: ‘UPDATE: Out of medical advice, and out of precaution for a mild symptom that arose in the past 48 hours, I was tested for COVID-19 and will not be working at @ GMB until I retrieve the result, it should be tomorrow.
The presenter (left with co-host Susanna Reid) has been one of the loudest voices that has held the government accountable during the crisis.
The GMB host has been one of the strongest voices that has held the government accountable during the ongoing crisis on Twitter and the show.
Since the country was closed on March 23, he has become the interviewer that ministers have feared most because of his ruthless scrutiny of the events.
He has spoken the truth to power at all times, including fiercely questioning the decisions made by the British and American governments.
Healthcare Minister Helen Whately received two of the journalist’s most memorable displays in one week last month.
The host questioned her after he caught her laughing during a conversation about the number of people dying in Covid-19 care homes.
Ms. Whately, 43, a Faversham and Mid Kent MP, was sent to bat amid anger over the vulnerability of nursing home residents and the lack of evidence and PPE.
She insisted that the government had been working hard to deal with the crisis, but Morgan insisted that she answer questions about deaths in nursing homes and told her that she hoped she was working hard. He then lay down on her after he caught her smiling.

She was also beaten by Morgan during her second appearance at GMB, as he accused her of not knowing how many members of the health and care staff had died from the mistake.
The presenter’s willingness to tell the truth to power during the pandemic was perhaps best demonstrated by his treatment of his friend Donald Trump.
Morgan has repeatedly called the President for his handling of the coronavirus, which has been sweeping the United States and killed more than 65,000 people.
This culminated in him telling Trump to ‘shut up’ after the president said at a White House press conference that he was investigating the effect of injecting disinfectant to combat the mistake.
Trump stopped following the journalist on Twitter.
