Good Morning Britain viewers were left very confused by Susanna Reid’s appearance on the show today as Piers Morgan was forced to miss the ITV program due to coronavirus symptoms.

Some fans questioned why Susanna was still in the studio despite coming into contact with Piers – though due to social distancing rules, they have remained two meters apart.

One viewer tweeted: “Why is susanna doing GMB this morning when the government guidelines are if you’ve been in contact with anyone suspected of having cv 346 you are to self isolate for 7 days. Practice what you preach. Seems different rules for your staff. Shame on GMB. “

While another raged: “That’s because GMB and especially Susanna make up their own rules..she blocked several of us yesterday for not agreeing with her views..they send out people to do unnessarily stupid outside broadcasts whike telling us to stay home !! ”

Yet a fan pointed out:” Because that not the rules as Dr Hilary explained. It’s really not complicated. “

Another wrote: “Piers apparently has had symptoms for hrs. He was last on the show on Thursday I believe (I don’t watch anymore). “

Piers was replaced by Ben Shephard on GMB today, who introduced the show today annoubcing : “As you can see, I’m not Piers!”

“Yes, it’s therapeutic,” Susanna Reid quipped, before reading out Piers ‘tweet last night.

He had written: “UPDATE: On medical advice, and out of an abundance of caution for a mild symptom that arose in past (hrs, I’ve had a test for COVID – and so will not be working on @GMB until I get the result back, which should be tomorrow. “

Meanwhile Dr Hilary Jones revealed that Piers had spoken to him last night and that the co-host did not have many symptoms that were atypical of coronavirus but was being cautious.
