“You’ve got to observe the rules, wear your masks and observe social distancing and importantly, get your vaccine if you can.”
Noel went on to say that his bond with his pets at home had helped him make it through.
He went on: “Because this is a bad disease and it really takes it out [of you] and I can’t emphasise enough that you’ve got to be careful still.
“If you can, give your animals a cuddle. That always makes things better but take care of each other.
“We’re not done ’til we’re done so do the right thing, look after each other and thank you so much for looking out for me. God bless.”
The beloved TV vet then added: “Be careful out there and look after each other x”.
