'The absolute state of some people' Huw Edwards hits out at responses after revealing he has Covid-19

Huw Edwards has hit out at internet trolls after he posted on Twitter that he had tested positive for coronavirus.

The news anchor posted a picture of his positive lateral flow test on his Twitter account on Tuesday (February 15), saying that that he had been feeling unwell with the virus, but was recovering.

Many were quick to wish the TV presenter, who is originally from Llangennech near Llanelli, a speedy recovery.

But on Wednesday, the Welsh journalist said he had been shocked by some of the "weird responses".

He shared a picture of him with his dog Mot, and said: "A tête-à-tête with Mot about some of the weird responses to my Covid tweet. The absolute state of some people. If you know nothing about science it might be wiser to trust experts all over the world who agree that vaccines reduce the risk of serious illness."

Reading the replies, the majority were positive and wished him back to better health.

But some others questioned the vaccination programme, with one saying "It’s the fact you have had the three toxic jabs that has destroyed your immune system that’s why you feel ill. According to Medical Scientists those jabbed will only get much worse over the coming months

"The jabs do not protect you or you from protecting others. Hwyl fawr Boyo".
