MICHAEL ROSEN met one of the nurses who cared for him while he was in a coma with Covid-19 during an emotional television appearance today.

The author is still suffering from the after-effects of the virus and has lost sight in one eye and hearing in one ear due to microbleeds.

Mr Rosen was surprised to meet one of the nurses, identified only as Beth, who treated him and kept a diary of his care during an appearance on ITV’s Good Morning Britain.
