What happened to Will after his COVID-19 jab?

Will said he was left in agony and bedridden following his COVID-19 jab.

After receiving the Oxford AstraZeneca vaccine, he said he felt like an “80-year-old man.”

On Instagram he revealed: “I had the COVID jab yesterday and I feel absolutely horrendous.

“I can barely lift my head off the pillow and my arms are like lead. I have aching bones, all my back is aching, it’s like I’ve literally got the full blown flu.

‘When I try to walk it’s like I’m an 80-year-old man, I’m not joking, it’s horrendous.”

Finally adding: “Obviously not everyone is going to get it like this, but just to let you know there’s a possibility.”

“I wish her all the best, but she hasn’t called me in years.”
