Piers Morgan has given his fans an update on his family's health after revealing that his parents were battling coronavirus.
The Good Morning Britain host, 55, said his mum Gabrielle and dad Vincent are doing "a lot better" after admitting that their experience with the deadly bug had been "brutal".
Speaking on Thursday's episode of the ITV show, Piers revealed that his dad has got his sense of taste back after losing it while he became ill.
"They're a lot better, it's such a relief," Piers said.
He added: "My dad sensationally revealed last night, after three weeks of no sense of taste or smell, he finally tasted the salt in his meal.
"He saw that as a gigantic step forward to being able to taste his wine again.
"So, well done, dad. One small salt step for man, one giant leap for your chances of guzzling some vino by the end of the week."
On Monday's episode of GMB he explained how his parents had come to catch coronavirus.
He said: "I would just like to say something to my parents who are both battling covid and have been for two weeks.
"It's a scary thing for a family when your elderly parents, my parents are both in their late 70s and got it two weeks ago from someone in a family bubble but someone who had to go out and was very sensible but got the virus.
"But then bang, it was like dominoes - boom, boom, boom. They had one lunch together and within three days both my mum and dad had Covid-19.
"It's been a long two weeks for our family. It's long for us because we can't get in there, but incredibly long for my parents or for anyone that goes through this."
Piers went on to say that he was struck by the "extraordinary" range of symptoms, including a high fever and back pain.
"It's a brutal assault on the body," he explained.
