The TV presenter shared a photo of a lateral flow test showing a positive result with his three million Instagram followers late on Monday evening.

He captioned the image: “Well bollocks!! Currently just a slightly sore throat.”

Schofield, 59, usually hosts the ITV celebrity skating competition alongside Holly Willoughby, 40 who is also his co-presenter on This Morning.
