- ■ by KIRSTY McCORMACK

BIG Fat Gypsy Wedding star Paddy Doherty struggled to speak as he yesterday warned Covid is no joke in a shocking hospital bed video.

The 61-year-old shared a clip on Facebook to warn fans how serious the virus is after he was hospitalis­ed earlier this week.

The Celebrity Big Brother winner also has double pneumonia and issues with his lungs.

Paddy is seen topless and hooked to machines as he addresses fans in the clip.

He said: “I will say this – don’t underestim­ate Covid. I’ve been knocked out for the last couple of days.

“I can sit up now, I couldn’t sit up. Look, I can even move my hand. I couldn’t do that.

“But the point of my story is, be careful. I can’t believe I’m talking to you.

“Be lucky, be safe and God bless.”

Traveller Paddy is a former bare-knuckle boxer.
