The 100-year-old WW2 veteran has raised more than £30million for the NHS during the coronavirus pandemic.

In a statement released by his daughter Hannah Ingram-Moore today, she said her dad tested positive for coronavirus last week while being treated for pneumonia.

Sir Tom was reportedly unable to have his Covid vaccine before catching the disease because of his pneumonia medications.

He was taken to a ward at Bedford Hospital today after requiring extra help with his breathing but is not in intensive care.

The statement reads: "I wanted to update everybody that today my father was admitted to hospital.

"Over the last few weeks he was being treated for pneumonia and last week tested positive for Covid-19.

"He was at home with us until today when he needed additional help with his breathing.

"He is being treated in a ward, although he is not in ICU.

"The medical care he has received in the last few weeks has been remarkable and we know that the wonderful staff at Bedford Hospital will do all they can to make him comfortable and hopefully return home as soon as possible.

"We understand that everyone will be wishing him well. We are of course focusing on my father and will update you when we are able to. Hannah x"

Prime Minister Boris Johnson said on Twitter: "My thoughts are very much with @CaptainTomMoore and his family. You've inspired the whole nation, and I know we are all wishing you a full recovery."

He previously encouraged the British public to stay strong as the country entered its second lockdown.

His charity - The Captain Tom Foundation - launched a campaign called Walk and Talk which aims is to get as many people as possible walking and talking, spreading hope and easing loneliness.

Sir Tom said: "I would like us all to stand shoulder to shoulder - metaphorically!

"Let's try not to get downhearted, we will get through this, whatever is thrown at us and together we can ensure that tomorrow will be a good day."
