Jeremy Vine is taking no chances with coronavirus after he told guests on his BBC Radio 2 show not to touch him, because he fears being infected by it.
Jeremy made a sign above his studio door that read: “Guests. Welcome! Lovely to have you, but please note that we are not shaking hands, hugging or kissing for now.’
