He wrote in The Times column : “The doctor was very clear… I’d feel under the weather for between five and 14 days and then I’d either get better or I’d have to go to hospital.”
His main concerns stemmed from his age and his lifestyle choices such as smoking.
Also, Jeremy expressed his concerns he had suffered with pneumonia twice in his lifetime.

“Where, because I am 60 and fat, and because I’ve smoked half a million cigarettes and had double pneumonia, I’d probably die, on my own, in a lonely plastic tent.”
Jeremy was self-isolating at a cottage with his girlfriend Lisa Hogan and her children.
