Carol Batchelor said on Twitter: "Seeing Owain Wyn Evans on Breakfast this morning has put a smile on the face of my severely disabled son, Luke, who is feeling rough after testing positive for Covid , thank you."
Another said: "It was treat to see Owain in the studio."
The weather presenter won a legion of fans when he raised more than £2m for Children in Need after taking on an incredible challenge to drum non-stop for 24 hours in November last year.
From Ammanford in Carmarthenshire, took up the challenge after wowing the nation during the first coronaviurs lockdown when he finished a weather segment on BBC Breakfast by playing drums to the channel’s iconic news theme.
That video soon went viral when it was shared online as people from around the world were amazed at the drumming skills of Owain, who joked: “When they said try working from home, I didn’t realise they’d expect me to do the music too.”
This week, he has also been helping to raise funds for Red Nose Day as a team leader for the Red Nose and Spoon Race.
Two teams, one led by Owain and the other by Angellica Bell, have been taking part in a race across some of Lake District National Park’s most famous and formidable climbs while carrying a red nose on a large spoon.
