While he had the illness he said he lost half a stone and that it was "like having glass in my throat".
He said: "For me it was short-lived and I was able to come back to work yesterday and I'm in full health. But it is worrying. I've lost half a stone, it's quite a serious impact directly. But thankfully for me I could get through it."
