It's understood Piers mother and step-father - Gabrielle and Glynne Pughe-Morgan, contracted the virus from someone in their social bubble, after like most families, they tried to be careful.
Piers' biological father Eamonn Vincent O'Meara, tragically died in a road accident when Piers was just 11 months old. His mother later re-married and he took on his step-dad's surname.
He explained, "When your elderly parents are fighting it, they are both in their mid to late 70s, and they got it two weeks ago from someone in their bubble, and they had to go out and they were very sensible but got the virus, and then bang it was like dominoes."
Piers, who has four children - sons Spencer, 27, Stanley, 23, Albert, 19, and daughter Elise, eight - with wife Celia, urged others to be more considerate as the government sets in place Lockdown 2.
He went on to confirm that they are now in recovery, although Glynne has still lost his sense of taste and smell.
