Boozy star thought lockdown hangovers were coronavirus

My FaMily star Robert lindsay admits he resorted to drinking heavily to cope with lockdown, to the point where his hangovers were so bad that he would mistake them for symptoms of Covid-19.

‘The first two weeks of lockdown, i got very down about the whole thing — my son was doing a-levels, i was in the middle of a production that’s been shelved, and i went into a bit of a downer,’ he says. ‘i started drinking a bit, and finding myself drinking at 4pm and doing things i’ve never really done. i would wake up in the morning thinking i’d got the dreaded Covid-19, and my wife had to keep reminding me i had a hangover.’
