The Labour MP was informed of the update on the Prime Minister’s health live on-air during an interview with Sky News.

According to a statement, Mr Johnson will receive close monitoring during the early phase of his recovery from coronavirus, but he is reportedly in extremely good spirits.

When told, Mr Ashworth said: “Well, isn’t that good news? It really is such good news.

“We’ve all been thinking about him and his family.

“Whatever your politics are, whatever you voted for, it doesn’t matter.
