So Richard Madeley and Denise Welch are experts on covid. When I break my leg or have a serious medical problem I will call Ant and Dec and get them to fix it.

Never mind 'Celebrity Masterchef', bring on 'Celebrity 24 Hours in A&E'! Denise Welch, Richard Madeley and Eamonn Holmes treat people who've been in close proximity to cancer patients and 5G phone masts, armed only with an internet search engine and hubris.

Finally, junior doctor, Zack Ferguson had this takedown of the Madeley conspiracy theory.

Things the NHS can’t do:

– pay its staff on time
– run its own car parks
– use versions of Windows <10 years old

Things the NHS (apparently) can do:

– participate in an elaborate international public health conspiracy so fiendishly complex only Richard Madeley could rumble it
