The Big Yin has received his second dose of the coronavirus vaccination.
Sir Billy Connolly joked after his appointment: “Wee jab – nae bother”.
His wife Pamela Stephenson posted an image on social media of Sir Billy wearing a mask with his sleeve rolled up as he received the vaccine.

“So relieved he has some protection now! He said ‘Wee jab – nae bother!'”
He received his first jab on January 22.
Sir Billy, who lives in the US, was diagnosed with Parkinson’s disease in 2013 and retired from live performances five years later.
He recently told the PA news agency he feels “happy in his skin” after making the “obvious” decision to retire following his diagnosis.
Other famous faces to have received the vaccine include actress Dame Judi Dench, broadcaster Sir David Attenborough, actor Sir Ian McKellen, Great British Bake Off judge Prue Leith and entertainer Lionel Blair.
Hollywood star and former California governor Arnold Schwarzenegger also shared a video of him receiving the jab last month.
