Ant and Dec avoid handshake with Prince Charles over Coronavirus fears

Ant McPartlin and Declan Donnelly greeted Prince Charles in an unusual way as the Coronavirus continues to sweep the nation as the death count rises.

Due to the coronavirus being declared a pandemic by the World Health Organisation today, Prince Charles replaced his usual handshake with a Namaste gesture to avoid physical contact.

At the Prince’s Trust Awards 2020 photos show the three men greeting each other with the Namaste gestures while looking sheepish.

Other celebs in attendance at the bash were TOWIE babe Gemma Collins, who flaunted her weight-loss in a slinky black gown as she stole the show on the red carpet.

As the coronavirus continues to spread, celebs have also resulted in telling fans that they will be refusing hugs in a bid to stop the virus spreading.

YouTube babe turned porn star Lena The Plug has told fans she will not be hugging them if she meets them over coronavirus fears and “sore t*ts”.

Taking to her official Instagram account, Lena told her 2.9million followers the news by sharing a busty selfie.

Taking to the photo’s caption, she wrote: “Currently refusing all hugs because my t*ts are sore and coronavirus.

“Anyone else out there paranoid like me?” followed by the crying emoji.

Piers Morgan also made a dig at a fan over coronavirus fears after he posed for a selfie with them.

Seated at a table at Grosvenor House next to his GMB co-star Charlotte Hawkins, Piers posed for the selfie with the fan’s face hidden by her sparkly phone case.

Looking displeased, Piers held back from smiling as the fan wrapped her arm around his head to get the photo.

But Piers didn’t seem too uncomfortable as he took to writing the photo’s caption.

He wrote: “My fans don’t seem to have got the social distancing memo…” followed by the hashtag, “coronavirus”.

He followed up the post with the embarrassed wide-eyed emoji.
