Chris Whitty says UK is at ‘worst point of epidemic’
Liam Gallagher, 48, took to his Twitter account to post a jibe aimed at Professor Chris Whitty, after the government official issued a grave warning on BBC Breakfast today. The Chief Medical Officer explained coronavirus was “everybody’s problem” and it is now crucial to minimise any “unnecessary contact” to prevent the rapid spread of COVID-19.
However, Liam wasn’t happy with the advice as he said Professor Whitty “needs a slap”.
The Oasis frontman typed in view of his 3.4 million followers: “That Chris Whitty is getting on my t**ty he needs a slap.”
Other Twitter followers weighed in on his remarks, as one told him to calm down.
They typed: “Chill out dude.”

A third stated: “Loads of folk say the same about you!”
Liam typed back: “I know, and I agree it’s good for you every now and again.”
It comes as Professor Whitty told BBC Breakfast: “We have a very significant problem. The next few weeks are going to be the worst weeks of this pandemic in terms of the numbers into the NHS.”
He added: “This is everybody’s problem.”
