Speaking about the incident, he said: “I’d done a 10-hour day and gone into a chemist in my local village to get an emergency prescription for a patient.
“Because I’m distracted and there was nobody in there I’ve forgotton to put my mask on.
“I’m in there for 60 seconds, and in that 60 seconds somebody who could have reminded me to put a mask on politely comes in, takes a photograph and flogs it to the press.”
Piers Morgan backed his colleague, saying: “Sometimes I just forget. I think the line is not to not take this seriously – we believe fundamentally that masks save lives.”
