With millions of people around the globe forced to stay home due to the coronavirus pandemic, television and radio hosts are having to take a creative approach to broadcasting. Programmes including Good Morning Britain, Lorraine and The One Show have already seen presenters and guests appear live from their homes, while Amanda Holden has taken to hosting her Heart FM radio show in her pyjamas in the comfort of her home.
