Piers Morgan remains off GMB even after testing negative for coronavirus

The star has been criticised by some for going abroad for his summer break after his very strong opinion about coronavirus during his time on GMB.

Piers even had his own scare a few weeks back, but he did not have the virus in the end.

However, as restrictions have been lifted the star isn't actually breaking any laws or government guidelines.
