He said: “Hi everybody Noel and Excalibur here, just having a cuddle. I wanted to reach out and say thank you for your good wishes.
“Some of you will know I’ve had Covid pretty bad these last couple of weeks. It’s a horrible dose and leaves you very exhausted so I guess what I wanted to say is: ‘We’re not done with this thing and you’ve got to look after each other.
“You’ve gotta observe the rules, wear your masks and observe social distancing and importantly get your vaccine if you can.”

Noel continued: “Because this is a bad disease and it really takes it out [of you] and I can’t emphasise enough that you’ve got to be careful still.’
“If you can, give your animals a cuddle. That always makes things better but take care of each other.
“We’re not done till we’re done so do the right thing, look after each other and thank you so much for looking out for me. God bless.’
In his caption, he revealed he was ‘over the worst’ and thanked people for their support, writing: “Thanks everyone for your kind wishes.
“I’m thankfully over the worst having had Covid, it really packs a punch. Be careful out there and look after each other x.”
