Harry Potter actor Rupert Grint is reported to be recovering from a "mild bout" of swine flu.

The actor, who plays Ron Weasley in the blockbuster films, had to take a few days off filming at Leavesden Studios.

He has now returned to the set of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows.

The news comes after health officials declared West Hertfordshire as a swine flu “hotspot” last week after the closure of two local schools.

It is not known where the star contracted the virus.
