Mild symptoms

He confirmed he was feeling better after being pictured outside his house during Thursday night’s Clap for Carers event.

However, one cheeky fan disputed that Piers was sickly with anything that serious.

He wrote: “So just mild flu like symptoms then, not a catastrophic killer virus.”

Not one to shy away from confrontation, Piers was quick to set him right.

“If you really want to know, I developed shortness of breath, a cough & unusual lethargy – three possible signs of COVID-19,” he wrote.

Medical advice

Before getting sick himself, Piers told viewers that his son had been showing symptoms of the deadly virus.
