“All the TV work and travelling and going to meetings that all stopped so it kind of gave me time to slow down.”

Dermot also revealed that his brother Padraig and his wife contracted Covid-19 earlier this year.

He said: “My brother had it and his wife, they’re fine, they minded themselves. I had to do the shopping for them and everything.”
