Why is Dr Hilary Jones not on Good Morning Britain?
It is yet to be confirmed as to why Dr Hilary Jones did not appear on Good Morning Britain on Monday, February 7, 2022.
The GP was last seen speaking on the ITV show on Monday, January 24, 2022, in the wake of news about a culling of hamsters in Hong Kong.
During the discussion, he said: "Risk of transmission to your pet from a human is very unlikely, is very rare.
"Yes, large cats, tigers have had respiratory illnesses as a result of Covid, we've heard about ferrets, mink.
"Certainly there were millions of farmed mink in Denmark that were culled because they were transmitting one to another.
"But that's a rare event and it hasn't been reproduced.
"So I think the risk is very small."
