ITV's Piers Morgan replaced on Good Morning Britain this week

Piers Morgan and Susanna Reid are being replaced this week by Ben Shephard and Charlotte Hawkins on Good Morning Britain.

The outspoken TV host i s taking a week-long holiday, admitting it had been a "long old haul" reporting daily on the coronavirus pandemic.

Unable to fly to his home in Los Angeles, Piers has been enjoying life in London as he watched Fever Pitch, drank fine red wine and ate luxury French cheese.

This comes after Piers claimed he will "regretfully" ban "all cabinet ministers" from Good Morning Britain who defended Boris Johnson's aide Dominic Cummings.

Piers tweeted: "In light of today’s developments, I am regretfully forced to ban all cabinet ministers from appearing on GMB until further notice.

"Only exceptions will be those who didn’t publicly support Cummings breaching a lockdown that the Govt forced on the rest of us ‘to save lives’."

Good Morning Britain focused on the continued fallout, with Ben and Charlotte interviewing a number of notable figures.
