Piers Morgan, 57, shared he has been suffering from “hay fever” like symptoms for three years. The former Good Morning Britain host uncovered that air pollution where he lives has exacerbated his condition.
Writing on Twitter today, he typed: “After three years of thinking I’d developed worsening hay fever, I’ve finally solved the mystery: air pollution.”
He continued: “I live in one of the UK’s worst polluted areas – Kensington/Chelsea – and when air quality’s v bad, like last week, I feel rough.
“When it’s OK, like now, I’m fine. Anyone else?” (sic)
It did not take long for his millions of followers to share their experiences with poor air quality in the UK’s capital city.

While @MoAImam added: “Same; vehicles throw up dust into air. This mixes the pollen and makes it airborne + pollen increases sensitivity as it sticks to pollution particles again, increasing the effect it has; plus nitrogen dioxide that could be damaging to the lungs and throat, making it worse.” (sic).
@Mattman1272 typed: “Maybe you’ll appreciate why Sadiq Khan wants ULEZ. I don’t agree with the way he went about it but he’s at least trying to do something. Poor air quality is affecting millions of people in London, not least children.”
Piers later added: “My local chemist said I was being ‘Kensington pollution bombed’ when I explained symptoms, which worsen when I return from overseas trips, and he was right.”
Sarah shared the photo too, captioning it: “I can’t believe torturing Piers Morgan is my actual job. Finally fully recovered from Long Covid, he was back smashing the weights again.”
While Piers has been absent from the gym for the past 12 months, he has been working hard on his Peloton at home, and prior to having covid, the star used to regularly work out with Sarah.
Piers expressed that he suffered from multiple symptoms, “This includes a strong fever, violent coughing, chills and sneezing fits.”
The symptoms continued for months that followed. Amidst the lack of smell and taste for that length of time, what seemed to affect him most was the “endless fatigue”, which he said was “really debilitating”.
