Ulitzer95 12,654 Posted December 7, 2023 Is Piers Morgan actually in hospital with COVID or are Piers and Tate just trolling each other? From what I can tell from Piers' timeline, he is actually sick with COVID, but I'm not sure if he's actually hospitalised. Has Tate just used an old photo of him from another occasion?

I am pretty sure I have seen that picture before. If Piers was in hospital it would be all over the news surely. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
