My family & I are truly touched by all your messages. It’s very comforting to know that so many of you have reached out. We’d like to ask that any donations go to NHS Charties. We will respond to all your messages in good time. As you can imagine, it’s a tough time. Stay safe, J

It’s Jason, Mark’s brother here. Sadly, Mark passed away peacefully overnight. He was a truly remarkable man, and leaves behind his girlfriend Emily and baby daughter Eva who is 5 months old today. The biggest tribute you can pay to my brother is to stay at home.

So, I’ve spent the last few days in hospital. If you think #COVID19 won’t affect you, you are wrong. I thought that, and I was almost a goner. #Coronavirus

Today I’ve been working from home in the kitchen and my girlfriend , who should still be on mat leave has been working from home in the bedroom. We’ve shared babysitting duties. We totally ace this parenting thing.

Puppy just went outside and when he came back in went into meltdown because Eva wasn’t where “he left her” 😂

I think it’s fair to say most of you know that Eva is not my biological child. However, today I started the process of adopting her. Any man can be a father, but this little girl is daddy’s little princess. ❤️

Do you remember when you joined Twitter? I do! #MyTwitterAnniversary

Had a lovely Easter Sunday afternoon catch up via WhatsApp Video with my parents back in Locks Heath, and then my friend and her baby, where babies met via video link. The poor puppy didn’t know what to do with himself with two babies in the house 😂

Woke up at 8am in a panic because we’d slept all night but baby was still asleep. That’s the first all nighter and the first full night sleep my girlfriend or I have had in over three months.

I swear...if anyone ruins it this weekend I won’t be responsible for my (socially distancing) actions #StayHomeSaveLives #EasterAtHome

Feels good going into work today even if it is to sort of VPN issues and I do have to drive into central London

So much traffic going past my house today #StayAtHomeSaveLives

This morning I’ll mainly be

I’m on baby night shift duties so girlfriend can sleep.

Today I went to drop a few bits of to a fellow friend who lives on her own with her baby. We waved through the window. Is this really what life is like now?

Another 260 deaths in the last 24 hours. That’s total lockdown coming then #coronalockdownuk
