The singer, 46, revealed that he felt ‘lethargic, tired and heavy’ while holed up in an Airbnb down the road from his family’s mansion in Los Angeles.

Robbie also touched on the fact that he has been managing to stay out of ‘dark holes’ by keeping busy and looking after his mental health while in lockdown.
He told The Sun: ‘I was in quarantine in an Airbnb down the road from my family and started worrying about food, about my medication running out, about Beau and my family, and was just very fearful for a couple of days.
‘Then I could feel my body was getting lethargic and tired and heavy and I convinced myself I’d got coronavirus.’
He went on to reveal that he believes his symptoms quickly disappeared, however he still kept his distance from his young family for three weeks before returning home.

The couple then joked that Ayda’s ‘co-dependant mother’ Gwen was trying to get involved in their romantic moment, while Robbie ushered her back inside.
Ayda explained: ‘So we’re just social distancing right now, a lot of people have been asking what social distancing is and I’ve looked it up…
‘And it’s just staying away from bars, restaurants and clubs and your own husband if he’s been to Australia on a plane and in an airport.’
However Robbie then reassured fans: ‘The good news is that I don’t feel too bad, I’ve been told that if you can hold your breath for ten seconds and not cough!’
Although Ayda then agreed to meet Robbie in the garden she insisted that he can’t come through the house.
