What did Peter Andre say about his COVID battle?
In an appearance on Good Morning Britain, Peter shared how the virus impacted his wife.
He told Susanna Reid and Piers Morgan that at his worst he was finding it difficult to even be able to breathe.
“I have still got no sense of smell and I went for a small bike ride yesterday and I was completely pumped out, which never happens to me,” he said.
“It’s a psychological thing: ‘Is it going to get worse at some point?’ This is what the problem is.
“I’m 47, I exercise, I feel quite good – and I had a doctor in the house and still there were nights where I’d wake up and I’m thinking… I’m finding it hard to breathe.”
Emily added: “You see it in the media play out so much – you hear all these stories of young people who are getting really unwell and it makes you worried more than you would if you didn’t know it was coronavirus.”
Peter went on to say that one of is family members is still struggling with the virus.
