Piers Morgan has revealed why he was left bed bound and 'unable to breathe' at the end of last week.
The Good Morning Britain host, who has only been absent twice during lockdown, said he had been struck down by a particularly nasty case of heat exhaustion.
Chronicle Live reports he revealed the cause of his 'unpleasant' experience after concerned viewers asked about his appearance.
One fan of the ITV show tweeted: " @piersmorgan you ok? You look ill on @GMB this morning Face bloated.. pinhead eyes.. faltering voice."
In agreement, another posted: "Is Mr Morgan ok ?? Looks very strange this morning... face extremely bloated... eyes pinpoint... wobbly voice... mouth and lips all over the place."
Piers later explained: "Somebody else said Piers is unwell. I spent all weekend in bed with heat exhaustion, I was playing golf.
"I probably haven't completely recovered, but you know what? You dig deep and you battle on."
He added: "Couldn’t walk, couldn’t talk, couldn’t breathe. It was like a utopia for all my critics.
"Heat exhaustion is quite unpleasant, I’ve discovered."
Turning to GMB's resident health expert, Doctor Hilary Jones, Piers asked: " ‘I just slept it off. Was that the right thing to do?", to which Dr Hilary replied: "Yes, plenty of fluids."
