Tuesday’s Paramount+ show screening was attended by Zoe, Nicole, and Morgan, however Morgan remained in the US and was unable to attend any of their press conferences.
Former co-host of The One Show with Morgan, Alex Jones, claimed she was “gutted” he couldn’t join them this time.
‘Morgan has a fever and his doctor feared he had a contagious infection, so he cancelled his vacation,’ his representative said in a statement to MailOnline. He is now fine.
