Jonathan Ross Misses Radio Show

Jonathan Ross abandoned his Radio 2 show yesterday after being struck down by a suspected case of swine flu.

The 49-year-old host, who was replaced at short notice by actors David Tennant and Catherine Tate, said on his Twitter site last night that he had been prescribed the anti-swine flu drug Tamiflu.

The talk show host was struck down by flu which left him unable to record his radio programme

Ross wrote: 'Hello. Big thanks to David and Catherine for stepping in. I have been given Tamiflu by the doctor. Still feel ghastly.'

Ross's flu appears to have intensified over the course of the week and he has indicated that members of his family have also been affected.

He recorded his Friday BBC One show on Thursday but by Friday morning, when Ross was due to record his radio show, he contacted the BBC and said he didn't feel well enough to present it.
