Rod confessed: "I don't want to get into that one, people are entitled to their views.

"What do you do this Christmas, with the virus in the air?" John asked.
"I know you're not quite the partying beast you used to be, are you going to cut down your parties this Christmas because of the virus at all?"
Rod explained: "We have a big party at the house. We're just going to make sure everybody's been tested.
"If you haven't been tested, you haven't been double vaxxed and had your booster, you can't come."
The Omicron variant was first reported on last week as it is feared the new strand of the virus could threaten Christmas plans.
In response, the government has stated all adults will be offered boosters by the end of January.
Those who are currently eligible will be able to book their jab from three months after their second dose.
