A popular DJ who later this month will have been in hospital for two years after contracting Covid has fought off critical illness again and again - and his family now hope he can soon return home.
Steve Laviniere is thought to be the UK's longest hospitalised coronavirus patient after he suffered brain damage brought on by the virus.
Steve, now 58, was admitted on March 29, 2020 - just three days after the UK was put into lockdown for the first time.
