The world is currently feeling very strange right now due to the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic, but perhaps the weirdest thing is that people are actually applauding Piers Morgan for once.

The Good Morning Britain host has been tough on the government and individual Conservative MPs over their handling of testing and publishing of information. While there have been plenty of Ofcom complaints (of which he has been cleared due to holding those in power to account being in the public interest), people are mostly behind him.

The host has been on a short break, but told fans on his Twitter page that he will be back on Monday (June 1). He promises that there will be "lots to catch up on...".

Someone else who has been critical of certain politicians and their actions is Piers' rival Ian Hislop, who had a go at Dominic Cummings over his major travel controversy on last night's Have I Got News for You. At the time of writing, Ian is still trending on Twitter, and even Piers "enjoyed the lacerating".

Meanwhile, Piers' GMB co-host Kate Garraway has been staying strong after her husband Derek Draper was hospitalised with the virus at the end of March, and is still in a critical condition.

"Hope has to keep us all going doesn't it?" she wrote on Instagram. "I am having to find new ways of staying strong every day for Darcey and Billy, as I know Derek would want me to. It's not easy but when I think of how hard Derek is fighting and the bravery of all in the NHS it helps."

Good Morning Britain airs weekdays on ITV.
