Just hours before, Nadia discussed the news that a potential vaccination has been found on Loose Women. It was reported that older adults living in care homes and care home workers are top of the priority list to get the vaccine by the Government's Joint Committee on Vaccination and Immunisation.

Despite the small glimmer of hope the world has been given, the 55-year-old revealed that she may never feel comfortable getting close to her elderly parents again as she has become accustomed to the recent social distancing rules.
"I'm so brainwashed now, will I ever really freely hug my parents again?" she told viewers. Her parents are both in their 80s and would come in second place on the vaccine priority list.
