Good Morning Britain returned to our screens on Tuesday with Ben Shepherd and Kate Garraway on presenting duty today.
The duo are currently filling in for usual hosts Piers Morgan and Susanna Reid, who are currently taking a break from the ITV breakfast show.
Piers, 55, is currently enjoying some fun in the sun holidaying in the South of France.
Kate, 53 pointed out on Tuesday’s programme that Piers’ vacation may delay his return to GMB following the government’s non-essential travel advice update.
The UK has updated its advice against all non-essential travel to Spain to include the Balearic and Canary Islands following a rise in coronavirus cases.

Foreign Office guidance was changed on Monday to include both mainland Spain and islands such as Ibiza and Tenerife.
While France is not on the list as of yet, Kate pointed out that her pal Piers may have to isolate for two weeks when he returns from his luxury trip.
Kate asked: “Isn’t Piers Morgan in France? Imagine [France] has to quarantine and he can’t come back on air for an extra to two weeks?
Cheeky Ben teased: Sadly, that might be a reason to put it on the list. Some would say.”

Kate quickly added: “We miss him really. Don’t we Christine?”
Appearing via a video link, Christine Lampard, who is filling in for Lorraine Kelly, appeared on screen to tell viewers what to expect from today’s edition of Lorraine.
Before chatting to viewers about what’s coming up, Frank Lampard’s wife said she has been watching Piers’ holiday updates on his social media account.
“I’m been watching him on Instagram sunning himself in France”, said Christine.

Piers’ holiday didn’t get off to the best start.
The television star took to Instagram last week to reveal he has torn a tendon in his right leg and is now having to use crutches to get around.
Piers shared a snapshot showing him posing with his three sons – Spencer, 27, Stanley, 23, and 19-year-old Albert – in Saint Tropez.
Sharing a snap with his fans, Piers penned: “Peg-leg. (Nothing like tearing a tendon on Day 2 of a 6-week holiday).
