Good Morning Britain presenter Alex Beresford has revealed on social media that he has been ‘bedridden’ for over one week after contracting Covid-19, and that he is suffering from ‘really bad’ symptoms as a result of the virus.
Alex, 41, shared his diagnosis on Twitter, saying: “Been in bed since last week with Covid.
“Feels like a really bad flu. I’ve been actively wearing my mask and washing my hands these last few months because I was on projects I couldn’t fall out of, but I know I relaxed up these last 2 weeks and here I am.
He added: “I wouldn’t like to imagine how much worse I would be had I not had the vaccine.”

Following his post on social media, many of his followers shared their concerns and sent their well wishes to the presenter, with one saying: “So sorry. Hope you’re better soon.
“You should never have got sick when you’re doing the right things. The infection rate is just too high and not enough mask wearing.”
A second follower said: “Trusting you feel better soon Alex , a warning to us all this is far from over and we must all be super careful.”

Another commented: “Shocking. This is a lesson to us all to be extra vigilant. Things are only going to get worse from here on out and we need to be prepared.”
A fourth said: “Never ever let your guard down. Treat every one as though they are carriers. Get well soon.”
His diagnosis follows another recent post by the star, where he asked everyone to help reduce the spread of Covid-19, following the change in Covid-19 restrictions in the UK regarding faces masks as a result of the new Omicron variant.

In the post he said: “If making masks mandatory again keeps the country moving and doesn’t stop us from seeing loved ones this Christmas, just wear one and keep another lockdown at bay.”
Alex’s positive test comes just days after he encouraged followers to wear masks following new rules and Covid restrictions following the new variant.
