Took a look again at the ONS stats and downloaded their spreadsheet that contains data for the year up to and including 20th April. It record 28,570. According to the Worldometer website, which updates daily, based on the government's daily announcements, on 20th April, number of deaths was recorded as 19,051 - so it was being under-reported by 1/3. If that's still the case, then the current true figure could be approaching 50k now.
