Why is Piers Morgan not on Good Morning Britain today?
Last week, 55-year-old Piers confirmed he won't be on Good Morning Britain on the week commencing 25th May as he is taking a break from the show.
Speaking to GMB’s weather presenter Laura Tobin over a video-call, he explained that his co-host Susanna Reid and Dr Hilary will also be absent.
He explained: “We're having this extraordinary thing where Susanna, Hilary and I, we’re going to have a week off.
Susanna, 44, then joked: “What? Have we been allowed out?”
Piers continued: “We’ll have half-term off next week, even though, of course, there is no half term.”
Susanna then asked her colleague whether he was going anywhere nice during his week-long 'holiday', to which he replied: "I'm going upstairs!"
Piers, Susanna and Dr Hilary should be back next Monday (June 1).

This comes after Piers temporarily stepped back from the programme after developing a “mild” coronavirus symptom.
He tweeted at the time: “On medical advice, and out of an abundance of caution for a mild symptom that arose in the past 48 hours.
"I’ve had a test for Covid-19 and so won’t be working on Good Morning Britain until I get the result back.”
Piers tested negative for the disease, but stayed away from the studio as he was “still under the weather."
He Tweeted at the time: "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."
