Piers Morgan and Susanna Reid were left cringing today as Dr Hilary Jones appeared to break coronavirus rules live on GMB. The hosts had been wishing co-star Richard Arnold happy birthday when the blunder was made.
Piers and Susanna had been unimpressed after producers said that there would be too many people in the studio if Richard entered the studio.
Dr Hilary had said that he would get up and leave, but bosses said that there wasn't enough time. Yet Piers was determined to wish their colleague happy birthday as Dr Hilary moved to exit the studio to allow Richard in. "Honestly, the fact that we can't bring him in and wish him happy birthday - Dr Hilary, you might have to leave for five minutes," Piers said.
