A father sent a text to his wife asking her to 'look after my kids' before his heart stopped for 17 minutes.
Andrew Mikhail, who owns a string of bars in Southport, spent six months seriously ill in Wigan Hospital after contracting coronavirus.
After 16 days in hospital, he had to be placed on a ventilator and he believed he would die. He sent text messages to his wife Vicky and business partner Rob Ashcroft saying 'look after my kids'.
