James Corden is the latest US-based late night talk show host to test positive for Covid-19.

It comes after Late Night host Seth Meyers and The Tonight Show’s Jimmy Fallon revealed they had tested positive for coronavirus in recent days.

“I just tested positive for Covid-19,” the Late Late Show with James Corden host said on Instagram on Friday.

“I’m fully vaccinated, boosted and because of this am fortunate enough to say I feel completely fine.

The English actor said the show “will be off the air for the next few days”.
