Craig Charles revealed that Jack was on oxygen since he received COVID-19 from his father.
Interview with The Times: Jack, 32-year-old Coronation Street star and former Coronation Street star, insists that Jack will be okay despite being infected with the virus. He added, “He’ll get there.”
Craig was infected with the virus back in September. He also had to take oxygen and post on Twitter.
Craig Charles (57) has disclosed that Jack Charles (32) has been placed on oxygen since he contracted Covid-19. The actor was pictured in 2017.
The tweet he posted at that time was: “Okay guys, I don’t want to alarm. But I have caught Covid.
“Breathing seems a little laboured, which is worrying. But I have an oxymonitor and so far there’s no hospital.
“I am starting to feel better, but I have to be alone. Sorry to disappoint everyone. I will return soon.
He also spoke out about drinking during lockdown because he could not do his DJ job.
Diagnosis. Jack (pictured, at 57) insists that Jack would be fine. He said, “He’ll get there.”
He said: ‘Mass gatherings is my job, and sitting in your pants for 18 months watching drinking rosé isn’t great for business.
‘I’ve been working at full tilt to claw back in six months what we would have made in 18.’
Because of his addiction, he admits that he is now a full-time worker and can be dangerously distracted by his job. He admitted that he once spend £250,000 on crack cocaine.
Back in 2014, he quit I’m A Celebrity stint after his brother Dean died. Friends and family were concerned that Dean would be back on the wrong track after his death.
He said, “I just put myself in work and have continued to work ever since.”
