Appearing on ITV’s Lorraine back in November 2021, Nick spoke about his experience dealing with Covid.
he told the host: “I had it really bad right at the start of lockdown.
“Me being impatient tried to get straight back into exercise directly afterwards,” he then continued.
“There seems to be some correlation or suggestion now that going too hard and exercise too soon after Covid can cause you problems.”

He continued: “I had, what my doctors described, Long Covid for about 10 months.
“No energy at all. Absolutely knackered the whole time. I didn’t want to tell anyone because I thought I wouldn’t get a booking for work, so I kept it to myself.”
Nick – who recently tied the knot for the third time to wife Katie – said he had to take short breaks during work because he had shortness of breath.
Recently, Katie has been having health problems of her own. She recently revealed that she’d undergone a hysterectomy after enduring “years of pain”.
“I’ve lived with pcos, endometriosis and adenomyosis since Moses wore short pants. And no, it wasn’t ‘just a bad period,’” she said in a post on social media sharing news of the op.
