Pub performer Dave Smith thought he'd never sing again after suffering Covid for over 10 months.

BBC Breakfast presenterPub and club performer Dave Smith, from Bristol, never thought he would sing again after being infected with the condition for more than 10 months.

Aimed at people recovering from Covid-19, more than 2,500 have taken part, getting help with breathlessness and well-being. The virus stayed active in his body for 10 months - the longest recorded case in the world. When I first met Dave in 2021 to film a report for BBC Breakfast, he was thrilled to be alive but also desperately sad that his Covid-scarred lungs meant he would probably never sing again.

His trip to London was exhausting but he didn't stop smiling or joking for a minute. Dave the showman is back!
