Vernon Kay gives update after missing This Morning debut due to Covid

Vernon Kay has given his followers an update on his condition after he was forced to miss his debut on This Morning due to testing positive for Covid-19.

The presenter was set to join the line-up today, for three days, alongside regular guest host Rochelle Humes, before Phillip Schofield and Holly Willoughby return from their summer break.

However, on Sunday Eamonn Holmes announced he was stepping in to cover for Vernon.

Today, Vernon tweeted: "Missing out on my This Morning debut today cause of COVID.

"I was up for a bit of fashion and cooking with Rochelle.. Hopefully we’ll go again soon… P.s Feeling ok….(so far!) Really appreciate your well wishes."

In an interview with The Sun, Kay said he had tested positive for Covid.

He told the newspaper: “I’m absolutely gutted that because of a positive Covid test I’m no longer able to present on This Morning next week with Rochelle nor do Radio 2 guest hosting and Steve Wright’s cover, two iconic shows which I’ve been a fan of for decades.”
