Piers Morgan could be forced to quarantine after his holiday in France – and we’re sure you can guess why.
The Good Morning Britain host, who is famous for his outspoken ways, is currently on vacation in the south of France.
But his trip could be coming to a sour end if rules surrounding quarantine are bought back into place in the UK which would see holiday-goers have to self-isolate for 14 days from the day they bet back from holiday.
While Piers has been away from GMB, Ben Shephard and Adil Ray have stepped in to take his place alongside Kate Garraway and Charlotte Hawkins.

Piers is scheduled to return at the start of September but these plans could be thrown into chaos for ITV following new government warnings.
Taking to his official Instagram, Piers wrote: “Brits abroad… praying for no quarantine.”
Boris Johnson has said ministers will “not hesitate” to impose a quarantine system for travellers from other countries to the UK if needed.

He urged those who go abroad to look at the Foreign Office travel advice carefully.
It comes after a rise in Covid-19 cases in France, with face masks being made mandatory in busy parts of Paris as of Monday.
In France, the seven-day rate for the past four weeks is still well below that of Spain, but it has shown an increase – 5.6, 8.3, 10.7 and 13.5.
Downing Street said changes to the quarantine exemption list could be made “very rapidly”.

Asked if France could be added to the quarantine list, the Prime Minister’s official spokesman said: “We keep the data for all countries and territories under constant review.
“Any decisions to update the exemptions list will be informed by the latest health data and we can and will act rapidly.
“We have been updating the exemptions list on a weekly basis in order to make sure that it reflects the changes in the international health picture.”
The spokesman said the pandemic meant “there isn’t a risk-free way of travelling overseas”.
