Piers Morgan tests negative for coronavirus

Piers Morgan reveals that he has tested negative for coronavirus but will remain off Good Morning Britain while still unwell.

Good Morning Britain host Piers Morgan has revealed that his test for coronavirus has come back negative.

The 55-year-old announced yesterday that he had taken a test for the deadly disease after developing "mild symptoms" and consequently was absent from the breakfast show this morning.

Taking to Twitter, Morgan revealed: "UPDATE: 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."

Morgan's former friend Lord Sugar earlier mocked the presenter for taking a test, accusing him of hypocrisy for having one ahead of frontline health workers.
