Piers Morgan is set to present Uncensored from his home after testing positive for Covid.

The TalkTV presenter has shared a photo of his positive test on social media, explaining that while he was feeling unwell, he is pushing ahead with plans to front his show this evening.

‘UPDATE: I’ve tested positive for Covid, and feel as rough as a badger’s a*se, but in the spirit of “The Show Must Go On”, I’m going to have a go at anchoring tonight’s Uncensored live from my home,’ he posted on X, formerly Twitter.

‘Tune in at 8pm, because anything could happen…’

While the pandemic made remote presenting anything out of the unusual we’re now officially on edge waiting to see whether Piers might be going on air in his undies after teasing that viewers might be kept on their toes.

Responding to a comment about his illness, Piers, 58, said he’d first tested negative twice before the positive result.

He also shared the below reply to someone who questioned why he’d made a ‘big deal’ of having Covid.

‘I only said it because I’ve never hosted the show from my home before and it will look a bit odd to viewers,’ he explained.

Last month Piers also pushed through with presenting his show when unwell, which came after concerned viewers commented on his appearance.

In early November he shared this update as well: ‘To all concerned viewers (including my mother & sister!) who think I’ve looked less than [100], I’ve been diagnosed with bronchitis, sinusitis & conjunctivitis – a gloriously vile trifecta of wheezing, sneezing, pink-eyed hell.

‘Apologies if my head caused more offence than usual.’

He went on to address suspicions that he has a mild form of Covid, as a new variant has led to rising cases.

He added: ‘Incidentally, fwiw, my LA doc said he’s recently had 100s of people in with similar symptoms & most tested positive for Covid several weeks before. (I didn’t but he thinks I had it).

‘The new strains seem to be mildish on infection but spark lingering crap for weeks afterwards.’

Piers Morgan Uncensored airs weeknights at 8pm on Talk TV.
