Piers Morgan has announced that he won’t be on GMB next week, as he takes a weeks holiday away from the show.
He’s taking a short break from the show.
His colleagues Susanna and Dr Hilary will also be leaving the show briefly next week, to enjoy a well deserved, long overdue break.
He said it had been a “long old haul” so far when talking about reporting extensively on the Coronavirus pandemic. And when asked if he was going anywhere nice for his “holiday”, he replied: “I’m going upstairs!”
However, he did admit his life hasn’t changed massively since lockdown, saying: “I can’t occasionally go to restaurants or go on planes… and we can actually come to work and we’ve probably been working much harder than we ever had. I haven’t noticed much of a change.”
Despite this he says he has noticed the effect on his sons, and how their lives have changed since measures were imposed.
He said: “For my three kids – my sons who are 19, 22 and 26 – it’s a massive sea change.”
“My youngest son’s at university and he’s been doing online lectures and he said it’s been working fine actually, he’s got used to it.
“You get used to these things, don’t you?’
“My middle boy’s a young actor, just come out of drama school. There’s no acting going on! There are no theatres.
“It’s very tough for young people. All of his class have come out of a top drama school, they’re all about to burst into the world of acting and now they’re all sat at home!”
