Piers began tonight’s show by explaining that he was at home and not in the studio because he had tested positive for Covid.

He insisted the TalkTV show ‘must go on’ despite the Uncensored host feeling very under the weather. He will do his duties from home, meaning a very different look for the program later on. He took to Twitter to offer the health update, posting proof of his positive test.

He said that he was not certain what the rules were but thought it better to stay at home rather than risk infecting colleagues at work.

He added that the two-man film crew at his London home had both been infected with Covid before.

He posted his positive COVID result on X earlier today.

In his post, he said: “UPDATE: I’ve tested positive for Covid, and feel as rough as a badger’s a*se, but in the spirit of “The Show Must Go On”, I’m going to have a go at anchoring tonight’s Uncensored live from my home. Tune in at 8 pm, because anything could happen.”

Last month he managed to present a show despite being unwell.

The lifelong Arsenal fan posted a message which read: “To all concerned viewers (including my mother & sister!) who think I’ve looked less than [100], I’ve been diagnosed with bronchitis, sinusitis & conjunctivitis – a gloriously vile trifecta of wheezing, sneezing, pink-eyed hell.

He continued “Apologies if my head caused more offense than usual.”

Piers routinely interviews some of the biggest names in show business and tackles current issues such as the controversy around Omid Scobie’s book Endgame.
