Susanna Reid reveals: Piers is off for a few days
The fiery 52-year-old hosts the ITV show with Susanna Reid every Monday through to Wednesday, but today his roaring voice was noticeably absent.

Susanna enthused that it was delightful to work with the former This Morning host for the first time.
However, viewers flocked to Twitter in their droves to ask: “Where is Piers Morgan?”
