Good Morning Britain host Piers Morgan is set to return to the show after he tested negative for Covid-19.

The presenter, 55, missed Monday's programme after developing a "mild" coronavirus symptom.

However, his test results have now come back and he does not have the illness.

Morgan tweeted the news and said he will take medical advice before returning to the Good Morning Britain sofa.

He said: "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."
