Wham bam, thank you Van-Tam
The metaphor master, Sir Jonathan Van-Tam, as seen through the eyes of his beloved football team, Boston United.
From football and pants - to yoghurts and trains, Professor Sir Jonathan Van-Tam has used colourful language to advise people throughout the pandemic.
Now, England's deputy chief medical officer has announced that he's leaving the role. The professor has become a familiar face to millions on television during his appearances at the Downing Street coronavirus briefings. Away from his busy work schedule, he likes to unwind by watching his beloved Boston United play in the National League North - the sixth tier of English football. He's sported an amber-and-black club tie at the Downing Street podium - as well as namedropping his favourite team live on national TV. Craig Singleton - club secretary of the Pilgrims - shares with 大象传媒 Radio 5 Live's Adrian Chiles - another side of a man we've all come to know. This is 5 Minutes On - Wham bam thank you Van-Tam.
