Craig Charles felt like he was “drowning” when he had coronavirus. The former 'Coronation Street' star tested positive for the virus in September this year, and he struggled to breathe while he battled COVID-19.
Speaking to Metro newspaper, he said: “It was horrible, actually. I was double-jabbed and I was glad because it might have been a lot worse if I hadn’t been.
I couldn’t breathe. I felt like I was drowning. "I couldn’t get enough oxygen into my lungs, which was pretty scary. ” Craig - who is best known for playing Dave Lister in sci-fi sitcom 'Red Dwarf' - portrayed Lloyd Mullaney in 'Corrie', and he has recalled how he and Simon Gregson (Steve McDonald) used to often go off-script during their scenes.
