Download Covid-19: Will people stick to the rules at Christmas?

Victoria Derbyshire has apologised after saying she would break the rule of six in England so her family could celebrate Christmas together.

The BBC presenter previously told the Radio Times her family of seven knew the risks and would be "sensible" but "we have to be together at Christmas".

However, she later said her comments had been "wrong" and "hypothetical", adding that her family would "continue to follow whatever rules are in place" on 25 December.

5 Live's Nicky Campbell asked callers for their reaction.
