Good Morning Britain host Piers Morgan has allayed viewers' concerns that he is unwell after speaking with a "croaky" voice.

The 55-year-old insisted on Monday's show that his sore throat was a result of too much "shouting" and today claimed that having to do his own makeup has left him a sweaty mess.

"Do you know what, I actually feel quite hot and sweaty," he told co-host Susanna Reid. "It's not a need to go to Dr Hilary - it's the pressure of doing my own makeup as the clock ticks. I start hearing 'two minutes, 90 seconds, a minute'.

"I've actually developed a slight sweat. It's a pressure sweat."

Morgan has upped his role on the show from three days a week to four in the wake of the coronavirus pandemic.
