Piers Morgan has threatened to break lockdown rules himself if Prime Minister Boris Johnson doesn't fire his chief aide Dominic Cummings today.
Johnson is coming under increasing pressure to sack Cummings after The Mirror exclusively revealed the PM's chief-of-staff was investigated by police for ignoring the Government’s own guidance.
He was spotted by witnesses at his parents’ home in Durham, more than 250 miles from his London property, while suffering from coronavirus symptoms.
Now Morgan, 55, has weighed in on the debate, warning he will follow Cummings' example by visiting his own parents if Johnson doesn't take action.
He tweeted: "If Boris doesn’t fire Cummings today, then I will deem the Lockdown over & drive down to see my parents (from a 2m distance) for the first time in 12 weeks.
"I’m not having one rule for these clowns & another for the rest of us."
The Good Morning Britain host hasn't seen his mother or father in months while they isolate at their country home during the outbreak.
It is the latest tweet in Morgan's rant against Cummings after previously calling for him to resign.
Last night, he wrote: "Are you f**king kidding me????? Cummings should resign immediately or be fired.
Morgan added: "So, Boris Johnson’s right hand man Dominic Cummings broke lockdown to go to his parents’ house 100s of miles away... AS HE SELF-ISOLATED WITH CORONAVIRUS SYMPTOMS.
"Fire him tonight Prime Minister @BorisJohnson - or why should anybody heed your lockdown rules?"
A Downing Street spokesman has since insisted Cummings was not spoken to by police, and believed he behaved "reasonably and legally".
They said: "Owing to his wife being infected with suspected coronavirus and the high likelihood that he would himself become unwell, it was essential for Dominic Cummings to ensure his young child could be properly cared for.
"His sister and nieces had volunteered to help so he went to a house near to but separate from his extended family in case their help was needed.
"His sister shopped for the family and left everything outside.
"At no stage was he or his family spoken to by the police about this matter, as is being reported.
His actions were in line with coronavirus guidelines.
"Mr Cummings believes he behaved reasonably and legally."
Morgan has been an outspoken critic of the government's handling of the Covid-19 outbreak, and previously vented his fury about the resignation of Professor Neil Ferguson.
The epidemiologist stepped down from his role as a government advisor after being caught breaking his own lockdown rules by having a woman he was in a relationship with visit hi, at home.
The telly star called the situation a "shameful shambles" as he slammed Ferguson for failing to follow the rules he helped create.
He tweeted: "So, the Govt is 'following the science' of scientists who don't even follow their own science.
"What a shameful shambles.”
