'It's not nice, I promise you'

Paul Chuckle has revealed that he was laid low with coronavirus.

Although the 72-year-old only experienced 'mild' symptoms, he said the virus was 'not nice' to deal with.

In a short video posted to Twitter, the Chucklevision star told fans that he is 'on the mend', and urged others to 'stay inside’

He said: 'Hi guys, just checking in to let you know I'm still around.

'I have been laid up with Covid-19 for a few days, just mild but it was there and it's not nice, I promise you. So please, please stay inside.

'We're all going stir crazy, we know that, but please stay inside. Take the pressure off the NHS, Marie Curie, et cetera. Please, please stay in guys, and enjoy as best you can.'

Paul captioned the clip: 'On the mend #NHS @mariecurieuk.'
