He said: "We’ve got half term off, really exciting. I’m going to move from the sofa downstairs to upstairs for my holiday."

And referring to the speculation that there could be a 'circuit-breaker' lockdown in half term, Susanna added: "You get a two-week circuit breaker from us."

Piers then added that they'd be back to cover the run-up to the US presidential election, which takes place on 3 November.

He said: "The good news is, because I know you’ll be missing us, we’ll be back for the US election week.

"We’ll be there all week, all five days".

Susanna clarified that by 'there' he meant they'd be covering the election from the GMB studio.
