DJ Judge Jules has appealed for nightclubs to be allowed to reopen so that clubbers can party safely.

"The fact is people are going to go out - let's just get the clubs and the nightlife industry open as soon as its possible because the industry is suffering immensely and the pent up demand is clearly there."
