The star shared that he began to feel unwell four days before Christmas and, after Googling his symptoms, decided to get tested for coronavirus.
He wrote in his The Times column: “The doctor was very clear. I’d feel under the weather for between five and 14 days, and then I’d either get better, or I’d have to go to hospital.
“Where, because I am 60 and fat, and because I’ve smoked half a million cigarettes and had double pneumonia, I’d probably die, on my own, in a lonely plastic tent.”
He described waking up drenched in sweat as he suffered from a persistent dry cough and decided to head into isolation while at his house in the Cotswolds.
