Judge Rinder spoke today about being 'through the other side' of what he believes was coronavirus.
The TV barrister, real name Robert Rinder, returned to This Morning today after 20 days self-isolating with COVID-19 symptoms.
In his link at the beginning of the episode, Robert said we are in “unprecedented, challenging and frightening times” before reassuring viewers that the law has some answers regarding issues such as cancelled weddings and moving house.
Speaking live on the ITV programme, he said: "To cheer the morning up, I'm just through the other side of it. It's been 20 days. And I feel well now."
He went on to reveal the symptoms he had experienced, and still managed to raise a smile despite the severity of them.
Rinder, 41, said: "Terrible temperature, appalling cough and lying with my feet on the ground, with my head on the bed, in a coma watching the Kardashians. So I must have been really ill."
When hosts Holly Willoughby and Phillip Schofield asked whether he was sure he’d had the virus, he clarified he had not been tested.
“I think I did but because front-line NHS staff can’t get tests I refused to pay for one. But I’m sure I'm fine,” he said.
Robert isn’t the only This Morning co-host to have corona symptoms - Dr Zoe Williams returned to the programme last week after self isolating due to suffering from them.
Over the weekend Britons were warned restrictions on their lives may last for at least six months.
Boris Johnson has said the UK will get through the coronavirus crisis “together” just days after it was announced he had caught the virus.
The prime minister is currently self-isolating after developing “mild” symptoms.
This Morning airs weekdays from 10am on ITV.
