Speaking to The Sun Online at The Audio & Radio Industry Awards in London on Wednesday, radio and TV presenter Jeremy said: “I’ve stopped hand shaking. Someone came up to me earlier and tried to shake my hand. I said ‘it’s lovely to see you’ but I lean back, I’ve got a tactic.
“I’m not worried especially for myself, because if you look at the profile for people who are dying it’s mainly older. “I worry for them and I worry for my mum. If you’re over 80 it is tricky.”
The broadcaster admitted he had been moved to tears hearing from listeners on his BBC Radio 2 afternoon show, who have already self-isolated.
He added: “The last thing that made me cry was, some of our older listeners with Coronavirus, they are actually already in isolation because they are so worried. And we’re the only voices they hear in the day. And that is really sad to me.”
His comments come after Peter Andre fans were ordered not to have physical contact or selfies with him at a question and answer session because of the coronavirus.
