Bob Mortimer: Gone Fishing host admits

As we head out of lockdown 2.0 today, Bob Mortimer, 61, reflected on this shambles of a year and how it has affected him personally. With people’s plans out the window for the majority of 2020, the pro fisher revealed that it’s taken a couple of years off of his life, and there’s probably plenty of people who feel the same.
In a recent episode of their hugely popular fishing series, the pair sat in the pub talking about what they achieved this year.
“While I have been in lockdown I’ve done no exercise, I’ve eaten so much and drunk so much booze,” Bob admitted.
“Lockdown has probably taken two years off of my life.
“Truthfully.”
