Jason Manford is filming in Glasgow for his new quiz show and joked about receiving anal Covid-19 swabs. The comedian, from Salford, has been in Scotland over the past few weeks as he hosts his brand new general knowledge show Unbeatable, which will air on BBC One later this year.
The tongue-in-cheek funnyman, 39, says he is required to take a Covid-19 test every day at work, but joked that English visitors were only one to get 'anal swabs'.
He wrote on his official Facebook page: "Happy to take COVID tests every day to work here in in Glasgow but can’t help feeling they’re only using the anal swabs on English visitors! #EssentialSasannach." He later added: "Well I started getting suspicious when I asked a colleague how she was finding hers.
