Good Morning Britain health expert Dr Hilary Jones has warned that families may be forced to spend Christmas apart due to coronavirus social distancing rules.
The resident ITV doctor said Brits may be unable to visit their loved ones through the festive period due to the ongoing pandemic and may have to talk through video and telephone calls instead.
Dr Hilary said there was still a chance that Christmas could be "wonderful" but that it was unlikely that the country would be back to normal.
Talking to The Sun's Dan Wootton on talkRADIO, the telly favourite said that UK's lockdown would be lifted eventually, but measures protecting the elderly population would be among the last to go.
