Paul Chuckle’s wife "nearly scared [him] to death" when she hovered over him at 2am to check he was "still breathing".
The 72-year-old actor took to Twitter on Monday (30.03.20) to reveal he has a "mild" form of coronavirus, and he later said his significant other Sue checked on him in the early hours to make sure he was not dead, because she was "so worried" about him.
He wrote on Twitter: "Sue nearly scared me to death hovering over me at 2am in the dark APPARENTLY checking I was still breathing because she was so worried but today I don’t feel quite so bad. Hope you are well (sic)"
After posting a video revealing he has coronavirus, Paul was inundated with stars wishing him well.
Paddy McGuinness wrote: "Stay well pal. Good to see you"
Will Mellor posted: "Glad you getting better mate!! Take care. X (sic)"
It comes after Paul said the virus was "not nice" to deal with, and he urged others to "stay inside" and listen to government advice.
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, etc. Please, please stay in guys, and enjoy as best you can."
Paul captioned the clip: "On the mend #NHS @mariecurieuk (sic)"
