Piers Morgan: A 'vile trifecta' of infections hits the controversial presenter

Piers Morgan is used to the spotlight and to people commenting under clips of his show on TalkTV. In recent weeks, the presenter has been going viral thanks to his interviews with comedian and activist Bassem Youssef about the dire situation in Gaza.

However, Youssef is not the only one Morgan has interviewed on the topic and those long and challenging interviews have had an impact on Morgan’s health. Viewers had noticed and on 3 November, Piers Morgan decided to address it on X.

Piers Morgan hit by a ‘trifecta’ of infections

In his tweet, the presenter confirms that he has not been feeling well. He writes:

To all concerned viewers (including my mother & sister!) who think I’ve looked less than 💯, I’ve been diagnosed with bronchitis, sinusitis & conjunctivitis - a gloriously vile trifecta of wheezing, sneezing, pink-eyed hell. Apologies if my head caused more offence than usual.

According to Entertainment Daily who reports on Piers Morgan’s health as well, his doctor thinks that Morgan could have had COVID prior to these infections as people with the same symptoms had been tested positive just a few weeks before the infections started.

Piers Morgan goes viral over Israel and Gaza conflict

Since the beginning of Israel's attack on Gaza, Piers Morgan has been surprisingly visible. In the past three weeks, his Youtube Channel Piers Uncensored gained hundreds of thousands of subscribers. Several interviews of his have gone viral on social media.

This sustained level of exposure and intense interviewing has now caught up with him but it seems like having three infections at the same time will not prevent Piers Morgan from continuing to work. Indeed, on 6 November, Morgan took to X to remind viewers that his show would be on with an exclusive interview with the President of Israel.

Viewers who have noticed Morgan’s health decline have wished him a speedy recovery.

Piers just get some sleep man, seriously, 8 hours straight.

You have done some big interviews during this uneasy period and have been having some of the most difficult conversations on the internet lately. To me, I would be concerned if all of this had not affected you in some way, shape, or form.

Get well soon Piers 👍 we need you at your best out there with more awesome interviews
