RAHUL SHARMA DEBT CONNECT IN MANCHESTER, UK,
Piers Morgan has said he will be temporarily stepping back
from presenting Good Morning Britain after developing a “mild” coronavirus
symptom.
The programme will be hosted by ITV presenter Ben Shephard
alongside Susanna Reid as Morgan waits for his test results, which are due on
Monday.
Morgan said in a tweet on Sunday night he had had a test and
will be stepping back from presenting duties “on medical advice, and out of an
abundance of caution”.
This week, Morgan was cleared of breaching TV watchdog
Ofcom’s rules after attracting more than 3,000 complaints over his “combative”
questioning of Helen Whately, the social care minister, in two interviews.
During an animated interview, he asked Whately how many
health workers and care workers who had died from the illness. She accused him
of “shouting at me and not giving me a chance to answer your questions” and
“attempting to score points”.
Morgan defended his approach, saying it was not as
“uncomfortable” as the conditions for the carers on the front line of the
coronavirus crisis.
Almost 600 viewers also complained about another interview,
with the health secretary, Matt Hancock, on 16 April, who accused him of
constantly interrupting him.
