The 'This Morning' presenter is set to miss the show this week after he shared the results of his positive lateral flow test with fans.

He wrote on Instagram Stories: "Well b*******!! (sic)"

The 59-year-old star admitted he's currently only suffering from a "slightly sore throat".

It comes after 'This Morning' was thrown into COVID chaos last year.

Former 'I'm A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here!' star Vernon Kay was due to guest present the brunchtime show last August, but he had to pull out of the programme after he tested positive for coronavirus.

The star, who was replaced by Eamonn Holmes, admitted he was "gutted" to have to sit out his presenting role alongside Rochelle Humes, and he also had to miss a planned guest-hosting slot on BBC Radio 2, where he was due to sit in for Steve Wright on his afternoon show.

He said at the time: "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."

Eamonn tweeted at the time: "But just when u thought you’d got rid of me …. sickness with @AlisonHammond and @vernonkay means I’m off the bench .Get well soon to them but I have my Boots on and I’m ready to play.

"Monday and Tues line up is now myself and @RochelleHumes . Hope you can join us. (sic)"
