After the announcement, GMB viewers wished the host well but not all were sad to learn he wouldn’t be fronting the ITV show tomorrow.
Piers has divided opinion on GMB with his criticism of the government’s handling of the outbreak.
One said: “Oh no, I really hope you don’t have it, get well soon Piers, GMB won’t be the same without you.”
While another shared: “As much as you’ve p****d me off recently, I do hope you’re ok.”
