Piers Morgan says he will be replaced on Good Morning Britain next week

Piers Morgan has confirmed he won't be on Good Morning Britain next week - as he is taking a break from the show.

Fellow stars Susanna Reid and Dr Hilary will also be staying at home and the journalist, 55, admits reporting daily on the coronavirus pandemic had been a "long old haul".

Piers was asked by Susanna whether he was going anywhere nice during his week-long 'holiday' and he quipped: "I'm going upstairs!"

Earlier, Piers confessed that his life "hadn't changed much" since lockdown.

He said: "I can't occasionally go to restaurants or go on planes... and we can actually come to work and we've probably been working much harder than we ever had.

"I haven't noticed much of a change."

However, Piers said that his sons' lives had been "massively" affected by lockdown.

He said: "For my three kids - my sons who are 19, 22 and 26 - it's a massive sea change."

Piers added: "My youngest son's at university and he's been doing online lectures and he said it's been working fine actually, he's got used to it. You get used to these things, don't you?'

But it's a different situation for his middle son Stanley, who's been training to be an actor.

He said: "My middle boy's a young actor, just come out of drama school. There's no acting going on! There are no theatres.

"It's very tough for young people. All of his class have come out of a top drama school, they're all about to burst into the world of acting and now they're all sat at home!"
