Taking to social media, Paddy, 62, shared a video of him on his hospital bed struggling to breathe.

He was placed oxygen by doctors in a bid to help him fight off the illnesses.
In a warning to his supporters, the star insisted Covid is no joke and explained when he was at his worst he couldn’t even sit up.
In a self-shot video, Paddy said: “I will say this, don’t underestimate Covid. It has knocked me down for six, it is what it is.
“I’m gonna make you all laugh. I’ve been knocked out for the last couple of days.
“I can sit up now, I couldn’t sit up. Look, I can even move my hand, I couldn’t do that.
“I’m alive. It’s not a joke, far from a wise crack. Keep your distance, don’t shake hands.”
Just a few weeks later Paddy was hospitalised for a second time.
Once again he was struggling to breathe and had to use an oxygen machine to breathe.
He is understood to have been diagnosed with asthma after contracting Covid.
Speaking to his fans in a video posted online at the time, Paddy said: “Covid is so strict as f***, f*****ng Covid is, God, forgive me for swearing.
“I’m just short of breath that’s it and I came in.

“Back in. Be out in the morning, you know what I mean though.”
“Just be careful everyone, you know. It’s real.”
He added while laughing: “I’m worse than a cat. A cat’s got seven lives and I’ve got 100 lives.”
