The Chase star Mark Labbett has revealed that he's had suspected coronavirus and lost almost five-stone during lockdown.

Although he never got a test for the virus, Mark explained that he hardly ate for two weeks and suffered 'uncontrollable spells' of fevers, reports The Sun on Sunday.

After suffering with his health at the start of lockdown, the 54-year-old quizzing genius changed his diet and has now gone down to weighing less than 23-stone.

Mark told The Sun: 'I got suspected Covid at the end of February, and got sent home from work, for the first time in 15 years... ITV were brilliant, and took no chances.

'Because the testing capacity was so limited then, I never formally got a test but all I can say is that for two weeks I had complete loss of appetite, no sense of smell, a temperature, exhaustion and the worst fever of my life.
