Phillip Schofield shared his upset on Twitter yesterday after learning former This Morning guest, John from Dearnlea Nursing Home, has died after contracting coronavirus.
The pensioner had appeared on a This Morning episode to sing to viewers during the coronavirus lockdown. John won the hearts of viewers with his rendition of Penny Arcade by Roy Orbison.
As well as singing, John and other residents at the care home made placards with messages on to their loved ones during lockdown.
John made viewers giggle with his rather rude message, which read: "Coronavirus can do one," as John smiled at the camera from Dearnlea Nursing Home in Rotherham.
