Pete, who’s wife Emily is working on the frontline as a NHS doctor, is said to have begun to feel unwell a few days ago but didn’t suspect he had caught the contagious virus.

A source told The Sun: ‘Peter started feeling unwell a few days ago, but he didn’t suspect that he had Covid, despite feeling extremely tired and unwell.

‘But he decided to go for a test to make sure as he started feeling very weak, which is unusual for him and he struggles to breathe sometimes. 

‘Because Emily is working and the UK is in lockdown, Pete has no option but to look after his four children as normal and isolate away from Emily at home. There’s no-one else to look after the children and he doesn’t want to put anyone else at risk of catching it.’
