‘Big huddle’
For the past six weeks, Jimmy has been sending all his fans and friends daily togetherness messages via video as the world fights coronavirus.
The UK government announced on 23 March it was imposing strict new curbs on life in the UK.
Jimmy had posted his first video on social media the previous day with the message: “We can do this together!”
He told a few jokes in the clip and urges people to help each other in these tough times.
He said: “Once we get though this, at the end of the tunnel, we’ll all have a great big huddle together.”
A nationwide round of applause has been taking place at 8pm every Thursday since the start of the lockdown.
The aim is to show gratitude to the NHS staff and key workers.
