THE TikTok user who licked a toilet seat in a "coronavirus challenge" has been hospitalized with the deadly disease, according to Piers Morgan.

The disgusting video from earlier this month shows the man walking into a public restroom with a duffel bag before squatting next to a toilet seat and licking it twice.

The man turned to the camera at one point and said: "coronavirus challenge."

He has reportedly since  become ill.

"I think this is called karma - he's got coronavirus," Morgan said on Good Morning Britain, according to The .

Morgan also questioned why this "moron" is being treated.

"He should be in jail, not taking up a vital hospital bed," the commentator tweeted.

The co-host of Good Morning Britain believes the culprit should face criminal charges.

"These people need to be arrested & charged with attempted murder. I'm serious," Morgan wrote.

The killer bug has killed 17,156 globally and infected nearly 400,000.

More than 800 have died in the US.

This isn't the first time Piers has called for the arrest of someone after they filmed themselves licking objects amid the global coronavirus pandemic.

Morgan aired a clip on the morning show of a man licking a shelf of bottles in a supermarket.

A man in Missouri was charged with making a terrorist threat following the incident at a Walmart.

"Who's afraid of the coronavirus?" Cody Pfister said in the video that would be posted on social media.

Morgan had led calls for his arrest and said he should be denied healthcare if he comes down with the killer bug.

He furiously said: "This is of somebody in America, who went to a supermarket knowing the coronavirus is attacking everyone in the United States and he did this and posted it online.

"What I would like to happen to him is I'd like him found, and I am sure they will get him.

"I would like him put in prison, immediately. And then I would like him deprived of any healthcare should he then get the virus having tried to deliberately give it to potentially lots of other people.

"That might concentrate the minds of these morons and it might concentrate the minds of these morons we have here."

Last week, influencer Ava Louise, 22, uploaded a vile clip of her licking a toilet seat and said she was completing the “coronavirus challenge.”

It’s undetermined whether the toilet was a public one, but it appears the video was taken on a plane.

Ava’s antics were heavily criticized by viewers who branded it as “seriously stupid.”
