Susanna Reid will not co-host Good Morning Britain for two weeks after before forced into self-isolation due to coronavirus.
The ITV regular took to social media on Monday evening to confirm her plans to step away from the show for 14 days after hearing new advice from the government.
Prime Minister Boris Johnson strongly advised all families to self-isolate together if just a single person in their household comes down with symptoms.
Taking to Twitter, Susanna told her followers: “I am currently well but due to the new advice today I will be self-isolating for two weeks due to symptoms in my household.”
She signed off the post: “Stay well everyone.”

Susanna had been due to return to the small screen on Tuesday morning at 6.30am to co-host the show alongside Piers Morgan.
It is not currently known who will replace her on the breakfast panel.
Replying to the post, Susanna’s BBC rival Dan Walker offered her his sympathies in a message of support.

BBC Breakfast host Dan said: “Stay safe Susanna. Hope you and the family are ok. See you back in a few weeks.”
Meanwhile, Piers simply replied by quote-tweeting Susanna’s message to his 7 million followers alongside the caption: “Breaking,” and a sad emoji.
During a live press briefing, Boris Johnson said: “We are now approaching the fast growth part of the upward curve without drastic action cases can double every five or six days.
“First we need to ask you, if you or anyone in your household has one of those symptoms then you should stay at home for 14 days, you should not go out, to buy food or essentials and other than for exercise, and at a safe distance from others.”
