Andrew Marr has said he suffered a “nasty” bout of coronavirus after having both vaccinations. The BBC political interviewer announced the news on his Sunday programme and thanked presenter Nick Robinson for standing in for him last week.

Describing his symptoms as similar to a “summer cold,” the 61-year-old told viewers as he opened the programme, “I had a bit of COVID last week, despite being double jabbed, and very nasty it was too.”
