World record-breaking, Olympic breaststroke champion Adam Peaty has called for sports facilities to remain open across the country.
Gyms in parts of England on the "very high" tier have shut their doors.
The 25-year-old from Uttoxeter, said "at whatever cost we've got to keep the leisure centres open, but keep it safe."
"I don't want to be another voice pretending to be an expert," he told BBC Breakfast.
"I just know how much sport can help people."
