Coronavirus: Idris Elba admits he fought with Sabrina as isolation tests couple

After the Luther star posted a video on Monday night confirming he has tested positive with Sabrina next to him, the pair faced criticism for not keeping their distance.

Just four days ago, he posted a video addressing the 'negative' comments about choosing not to isolate himself from his wife, explaining they had 'calculated the risk.'

'As much as we talked about her not coming to where I am, she did and wanted to and I love her even more for it and I would do the same for her,' he said. 'As much as I wanted her to keep safe, we presumed if I had it, the likelihood she would have it too, we calculated that risk,' he went on.

'When something like this is going on in the world, love is all you can get, who am I to turn down my wife's support?'
