Magician Dynamo, whose real name is Steven Frayne, has tested positive for coronavirus.
The 37-year-old opened up about testing positive for the virus in a candid video over social media, urging his fans to “stay home”.
Dynamo revealed he was advised to take a test after suffering from a “persistent cough and lots of aches and pains” in recent weeks.
The Bradford-born magician also suffers from Crohn’s disease, meaning he has been on immuno-suppressant therapy since his 2017 diagnosis, and falls into the “at risk” category for coronavirus.
Letting his fans know he’s feeling “better and better every day,” Dynamo urged his followers to stay at home in an effort to prevent the spread of the virus.

“Secondly although I haven’t a fever, my symptoms have been quite severe. And finally so that I was able to inform those I’d been in contact with so they could take their own precautions.
“I’ve had my results back and I have rested positive for COVID-19, This illness doesn’t discriminate and can present itself in many different ways. We’re all genuinely at risk.”
