'YouTube has clear policies prohibiting any content that disputes the existence and transmission of Covid-19 as described by the WHO and the NHS,' the video service, owned by Google, told the BBC. 'Due to continued violation of these policies we have terminated David Icke's YouTube channel.'

The ban follows a similar move by Facebook, who removed Icke's page from their site on Friday.

Famous medics including Dr Christian Jessen and former junior doctor Adam Kay have called on social networks to remove Icke from their platforms.
