BRADFORD magician Dynamo has urged people to stay home after testing positive for COVID-19.

Dynamo has been experiencing 'severe' symptoms of the virus - such as body aches and a cough - for the past few weeks and took a private healthcare test.

The TV star, who suffers from Crohn's disease and arthritis, is in the high-risk category because he takes immunosuppressants.

Steven Frayne revealed the news on Twitter, telling his 2.1m followers he had decided to take a private COVID-19 test for a number of reasons.

After self-isolating for two weeks, he urged his fans to stay inside.

He explained: "Firstly, because of my existing health issues, and the fact I'm on immunosuppressive therapy, I'm at high risk.

"Secondly, although I haven't had a fever, my symptoms have been quite severe and finally, so that I was able to inform those who I've been in contact with so they can make their own relevant precautions.

""I've had my results back now and unfortunately, I have tested positive for COVID-19."
