He told the Daily Star newspaper: "I had Covid a week before they made the announcement.
"I couldnât breathe and I couldn't tell if it was my heart or my lungs.
"I got to the hospital and I said, 'Iâve been having this heart attack for three days' and they plugged me into the machines and everything and I had a swollen heart and a virus.
