Kym Marsh has been forced off Morning Live for longer after testing positive for coronavirus.
The host of the BBC show was absent from the programme last week after her son David tested positive for Covid and he still lives at home with his girlfriend.
Kym, 45, therefore followed guidance and isolated herself.
However, her co-host Gethin Jones revealed that she was also suffering with the virus.

During an appearance on BBC Breakfast on Monday morning with Dan Walker and Louise Minchin, Gethin said: "Janette [Manrara] is in for Kym today. Kym is at home after testing positive for covid so we will check in with her.
"So we will be checking in with her during the show."
Later, Kym appeared via video link on the show with Gethin saying she sounded "much better" than she did when he spoke to her a few days ago.
"The whole house went down like dominoes," the former Coronation Street star said.
She explained how when her son tested positive for the virus, he isolated away from the rest of the family in his home and they had no contact other than to leave food at his door.
"[We were] wearing masks and hand washing but we still managed to get it."
Kym's young daughter Polly, 10, also tested positive for the virus.
"She's had a bit of a cough. She's been OK generally but the fever is the terrifying thing," Kym said.
When asked how she was feeling now, Kym said: "I'm not going to lie, still rubbish.
"It's the cough more than anything. I'm just glad I haven't had a coughing fit now because once I start, I can't stop."
