Take care Rich. The world is thinking of you… well, when I say world, I mean the few hundred loyal and dedicated idiots that you constantly malign. All the best.

Always enjoy your work Richard and sorry about your crap time with your health. My husband came home and said "did you hear about Jeremy Clarkson?" And my response was "Sod that, what about Richard herring!"

Take care Rich. Thinking of you! RHLSTP would beat SEPSIS in an acronym cage fight every day of the week, hands down (if acronyms have hands)

Wishing you a quick recovery, but in a selfish I am missing Newsround way. But seriously, thanks for writing about this in an open and funny way.

I wish Ally would get up off his lazy arse and do some daily broadcasts while Rich is away

How the hell is Ally going to cope with you inside the hospital? Who will feed him and change his nappy?

Ah, I’m going through a chronic illness too Rich, and hearing you be able to have a chuckle and make light of it really helps.

Good luck with it all. I had to spend two nights in hospital after an operation during Lockdown, which was very surreal. The second night I was the only patient in the entire ward, then I got woken extremely early in the morning as they'd realised they needed to change the area into a COVID isolation ward, so was ejected as quickly as they could manage whilst removing & sanitizing all the surrounding equipment. Then driven home in an ambulance with a travel-sick paramedic (as they weren't allowed to have normal patient transport).

Wonderful to see all these kind messages here. Nice to know so many people (‘dedicated idiots’?) care. Everyone deserves a Thank you Moriarty!

Wishing you all the best Rich! Take care and get back to the family.

It feels like your going to die really shouldn't be on there 😭🥲

That really is a shit mnemonic. And I say this as someone who is terrible at spelling, works in music and has relied upon ‘Richard Herring’s Yoghurt Tinged Hitler Moustache’ for almost 17 years. Sending best wishes and sincerely hoping that you feel better soon x

I can't say that you'll laugh about this later because you're laughing about it now. Hope you're back to normal very soon.

I feel like we’re all going to die, I saw a really good show about that.

Sorry you’re having to go through all this again Rich, good luck.

Wishing you well Rich.

Always good to be reminded to consult a healthcare professional if it feels like you're going to die.
