However, he looked on the bright side, writing: “Life is full of small consolations.

“If I hadn’t tested positive and had gone to DOI the house would be flooded.”

Phillip also shared a view of a light fitting where water seemed to be coming through.

He added: “Remind me not to turn on that light!”

Another Story appeared to show the light fitting after removal.

However, Phillip didn’t clarify whether the snap of the ceiling was in the same area as the light fitting or how apparent alterations had been made.

He did, however, joke he was ‘remaining calm’ about the matter.
