PIERS Morgan reassured Good Morning Britain viewers he’s feeling OK after they claimed he looked “pale and sweaty”.
The news anchor, 55, acknowledged that some people thought he looked “peaky”, before putting the blame down to a lack of make-up.
He said: “After the unfortunate orange head incident last week, in which I painted my head orange, I decided to no longer paint my face, just put a bit of powder on.
“So if I look a bit peaky it’s just because I haven’t been painted my normal way.”
Last week Piers compared himself to Donald Trump on Twitter after his own make-up application left him with orange face and white ears.
Today one viewer tweeted: “Piers you are a bit pale and sweating. You ok?”
Another posted: “Anyone else think @piersmorgan doesn’t look well, looks very pale and sweating already, he doesn’t look great!”
Piers previously said he had suffered “blending issues” but added “I don’t think my orange head should be the main talking point” amid the coronavirus pandemic.
His co-host Susanna Reid, 49, begged to differ and replied: “But every time we look at your face we get a moment of joy.”
Scrolling through his Twitter live on air, Piers said: “People are now sending me licking pumpkins.”
He added: “Apparently I have blending issues .I don’t even know what that means. Apparently this part of my face is orange and this part isn’t.
“I don’t care. I come in, I’m slapping this on, and in the general scheme of things in the world right now my blending issues are not that important people.”
Susanna then explained to viewers: “You are turning into your friend Donald Trump.”

And Piers clapped back: “We don’t have our army of make-up and hair people. It is not that important/
“For anyone who is offended by my orange head, trust me.”
Elsewhere on the breakfast show, Piers revealed his youngest son Albert had shown symptoms of coronavirus.
The presenter shocked his co-host Susanna Reid with the admission.
While speaking to Daily Mail journalist Andrew Pierce about his Covid-19 symptoms, Piers said: “One of my sons had it in a much milder way. My youngest boy.
“I think most people are associating (lack of taste and smell) that with the virus, it’s a very unnerving thing to get.”
Susanna turned to Piers and said: “Your son?”
And Piers replied: “Yes, he had mild symptoms which have cleared up now.”
Piers has three sons with his ex-wife Marion Shalloe, including 19-year-old Albert, Spencer, 26, and Stanley, 22.
He has a seven-year-old daughter Elise, from his current marriage to Celia Walden.
