It’s been quite a time for celebrity Covid-19 experts recently, with these examples deserving a special mention:
Matt Le Tissier is openly laughing at someone who rightly raises concerns about him using the Holocaust to justify his views on COVID. He is a @SouthamptonFC ambassador and the club should remove him from this role if they have any respect pic.twitter.com/1VSXWGJyiK

But it was another tweet from Denise Welch that got Richard Madeley trending for most of the weekend, due to a week-old Express column.

People were a tad sceptical about Richard Madeley’s qualifications to make such a judgement – or any of the other celebrities pushing the same agenda.

Until Green Garside or Paddy McAloon have had their say on masks, I ain't taking mine off.
If you wrote The King of Rock and Roll or The Word Girl, the world deserves to know whether we should wear masks or not.
F*** Richard Madeley.

Not that I don’t respect Professor Richard Madeley or Doctor Denise Welch… but I won’t believe the danger has passed until Gordon the Gopher calls it.

Let’s all meet at mine later to hatch our next dastardly plot for domination.
MWA HA HA!!

Richard Madeley is like the Jeykll and Hyde of intelligence. You either get the really bright Madeley, or the really dumb Alan Partridge version who would probably say the world is square rather than round.

Although not a TV watcher personally, I find it telling that not only a Corrie star but even Richard and Judy are weighing in on the need for basic quality control of the information being purveyed to the public. https://t.co/pW36H21NIJ

I was starting to become convinced that covid was real by all the deaths and scientific papers on it being published by reputable medical journals, but now Richard Madeley and Denise Welch say it’s a hoax I don’t know what to think
