"Boris Johnson clears 15 minutes of prime time, Sunday night television, to address the nation.

"And you expect when you get that amount of time on a Sunday night at seven o'clock you would get loads of great detail that clears everything up.

"Instead we got a load of his usual flim-flam, his bluster, his bellicose, fist-pumping rhetoric. But when it gets to the detail, I don't know where it leaves us."

Viewers were divided by Piers' return, with one saying: "Must admit you got it right today off the bat, we’re all confused, I was, it’s so damaging to the public right now that message!"

Another added: "That's the best thing Piers has said in weeks."

A third said: "Welcome back Piers. Don’t forget in Wales and Scotland we are still being told to stay home thankfully."

However, others weren't as pleased to see him back, with one saying: "The Morgan ramblings are getting evermore unhinged. Who’d have thought that was possible?"

A second said: "Negativity. Let me spell it out for you. Boris said 'Further details will be explained in the commons tomorrow and at the 5PM briefing'. There is no confusion, wait and find out what he’s going to say today just like we all have to do. You’re losing your grip."

In his address to the nation, Boris revealed a detailed roadmap of how to get Britain back on its feet but still keep the deadly virus under control.
