Health Secretary Matt Hancock appeared on Good Morning Britain on Wednesday where he spoke to Piers Morgan and Susanna Reid about the newly-approved Covid vaccine.
Matt called the vaccine "the dawn on the horizon" as the Pfizer/BioNTech vaccine has been approved for use in the UK and may start being rolled out as early as next week.
Piers told Mr Hancock he was keen to get the vaccine administered live on air on the show, as a way to convince those concerned about its safety.
Mr Hancock replied that he would happily sit down next to Piers and get the vaccine at the same time.
He said he would be happy to do this as early as next week, but he added that he and Piers would not be the first in line, as healthcare workers and care home residents are currently the priority.
Piers said: "We would happily take this if it helped take the message over, I would take it live on air, I don't care, I feel it's really important to get through this if enough people take it."
Mr Hancock replied: "I'll take it with you Piers, you have to take leadership in these these times.
"Let's do it together, live on air, it would be powerful, it would send the right message."
He added: "As a healthy middle-aged man you're not at the top of the prioritisation, but if we can get that approved and people think that's reasonable, I am up for doing that.
The Health Sec also spoke about the death of his grandfather from Covid-19, and he said his death had made him "even more determined" to beat the virus.
The MP had fought back tears in Parliament as he said: "This means more to me than I can say because last month my step-grandfather caught Covid and on November 18 he died.
"In my family, as in so many others, we've lost a loving husband, a father, a grandfather to this awful disease."
