Piers Morgan has shared he recently tested positive for COVID-19 and believes he caught the Delta variant at London's Wembley Stadium during the Euros final earlier this month.

The 56-year-old journalist, who has received both doses of the Astra-Zeneca vaccine, had a ticket to the England vs. Italy game that saw a number of fans break into the stadium to watch the match.

"My confidence that the event would be 'COVID-safe,' had disintegrated," Morgan shares in Mail On Sunday. "It was turning into an unregulated free-for-all."

The former Good Morning Britain host said he began to feel ill two days after England's defeat and took a lateral flow test, which was positive. A follow-up PCR test then also returned a positive result.

5. My son just finished his undergraduate degree in England, and has a friend who caught it at Wembley.

His friend just had the first jab (they wait 3 mo. for the second shot there), and he passed it on to his fully vaccinated girlfriend before he knew he was positive. Hopefully the high rate of vaccination will keep that super spreader event from being as disastrous as earlier ones.

6. He looks much older than 56.

That he didn't blame Meghan Markle for getting covid.

Of course, I'm as fond of Ms Markle as I am of Quai Morgan, so there's that.
