The media personality went on to reveal that his dad had visited the hospital when he first contracted the virus, but was later released.
Former X Factor star Myles explained: ‘He has already been once but this time his breathing has worsened.’
Urging his followers to take the pandemic seriously, the artist ended his message: ‘This post is not a ply violins for me it’s for my dad and also to stress that Covid is NOT LIKE a common cold, many people (including myself) at times think selfishly as they have not been affected by it.

In May 2020, researchers from University College London found the COVID-19 patients with COPD, a group of diseases caused by smoking, are at a two-fold risk of becoming severely affected by the virus.
Myles previously spoke about his ‘hard’ childhood, revealing he was forced to sleep on a solid wood floor downstairs in his father’s two-bed council house, because his dad’s then-girlfriend used the beds for her own children.
