Yay! Chris Witty is back on the daily briefing

Anyone else just feel hugely reassured by the appearance of Chris Witty (CMO) today?

So glad he's made a full recovery and is back in charge. He just feels capable and calm. Much like his Deputy Jenny. I think they are both fab.

He still looks a bit off colour and seems to have lost a bit of weight. I hope he's not come back to early.

Glad to see him back though.

HopeYouStepOnALego · 06/04/2020 17:31

I too was pleased to see him back. There was no news and I couldn't help but worry that he was seriously ill. Definitely looks like he's lost weight.

Jinx2020 · 06/04/2020 17:35

So glad to see him back!

Dementedswan · 06/04/2020 17:38

Can I have a summary of today's briefing please? I missed it as DC wanted to decorate their eggs for the school competition (they are still having it online)

Ginkypig · 06/04/2020 17:46

You should be able to get it on BBC iplayer dem

Bunnybigears · 06/04/2020 17:49

I was glad to see him back he seems like a good man to have in a crisis

Captaindobbin · 06/04/2020 17:53

Glad he’s recovered

Fuss · 06/04/2020 17:53

The hero we need! Thrilled he's back. He's like a reassuring Grandpa.

AmelieTaylor · 06/04/2020 18:09

I was pleased to see him, I was getting very concerned we hadn’t heard how he was.

@Fuss - you must be very young to see him as a Grandpa figure 😂you’re making me feel very old!!

EstuaryBird · 06/04/2020 18:10

So pleased to see him. He’s very reassuring, even if he was telling me really bad news I’d think that everything would be OK Grin

Leah2005 · 06/04/2020 18:14

He's my new crush. I do like a clever bloke.

MummyNeedsWineNow · 06/04/2020 18:15

Yey!!! Happy days! Welcome back Chris Whitty! Smile

AnneLovesGilbert · 06/04/2020 18:16

So pleased to see him.

Bimbleboo · 06/04/2020 18:18

Sorry if it’s been discussed but can anyone tell me, was he actually tested for covid and overcame it? Or just isolated for symptoms/contact with pm?

jenganinja · 06/04/2020 18:21

Yes, glad he's back

movinggoalposts · 06/04/2020 18:23

Chris and Jenny both make me feel incredibly reassured.

SaigonSaigon · 06/04/2020 18:29

Bugger, missed him. Glad he's back!

NewMumSooon · 06/04/2020 18:30

He's so cute! I have a (non-sexual) soft spot for him :-)

TippledPink · 06/04/2020 18:32

@fuss OH and I always say 'Dad's on TV!' when he comes on. Grin

BikeRunSki · 06/04/2020 18:54

He's my new crush. I do like a clever bloke.

Totally.

OuterMongolia · 06/04/2020 18:55

Really pleased to see him back.

CaptainMyCaptain · 06/04/2020 19:02

I was quite concerned about his absence. He speaks very clearly and without waffle and seems like a steady hand in a crisis.

YouAreTheEggManIAmTheWalrus · 06/04/2020 19:17

Still doesn’t blink though.

SnoozyLou · 06/04/2020 19:27

Still doesn’t blink though.

😂

Crikey. I think virtually every question to him asked him to comment on Boris's condition, and virtually every answer was a polite "no". If he did know, he was hardly going to discuss it.

Glad I'm not the only one with a teensy crush.
