Chris and Katie thank well-wishers

After Chris fell ill from a suspected case of swine flu, well-wishers have sent him dozens of messages of support.

Labour's Chris Ostrowski said:

"I'd just like to say a big thank-you for all of the messages of support that Katie and I have had from people - including the Prime Minister - after I fell ill on the campaign trail."

Gordon Brown sent a handwritten note to Chris, following his illness:

"Dear Chris

I am sorry to hear you are unwell. You have fought a great campaign. We are all very proud of you. My best wishes to you.

Gordon."
