He was joined by his wife Tana and their five children Megan, 23, Holly and Jack, both 22, Tilly, 20, and Oscar, two.

The family were accused of "bringing the virus from London".

He said: "God knows why we took so much s**t from the Cornish. We lived down there; we just hadn't been down there for a long time.

"We didn't sneak down there at all. We got there at an appropriate time, and had an absolutely amazing time."

He said how much he enjoyed spending quality time with his family, explaining: "A time like that – we'll never get back again.

"When the kids started disappearing again, I didn't want it to end – as a dad, not a chef."
