Boris Johnson said he had a "nasty experience" with coronavirus (FIle)
London:
British Prime Minister Boris Johnson said he was too fat when he became gravely ill with COVID-19 and that he has since lost 26 pounds (11.79 kg).
"I have to admit the reason I had such a nasty experience with the disease is that although I was superficially in the peak of health when I caught it, I had a very common underlying condition - my friends I was too fat," he said in an online speech to his party conference.
"And I've since lost 26 pounds...and I'm going to continue that diet."
