The GP and former Gladiators star then went on to explain in more detail how she felt at the beginning of the illness. "It came on very quickly. I was running round playing football with my nephew on Saturday afternoon," she said, adding: "Three hours later I was practically slumped at the table, feeling completely exhausted and wiped out. And I just had to take myself to bed for two days." On her symptoms, she explained that she had experienced feeling "feverish, aching, absolutely exhausted". She added: "[I] just couldn't really do anything. And then after those two days I am gradually feeling much better."

As well as detailing her own experience with the virus, Dr Zoe went on to reveal that sadly her boyfriend has also been suffering with symptoms. "[He] has taken to his bed on day five. We know that the incubation period is typically five days for coronavirus, so it kind of fits with the whole story." We're wishing them both a very speedy recovery!

After announcing the news that popular soaps were to stop filming, Phillip, 57, said: "That also goes for [EastEnders], Casualty, Holby and Doctors. I mean it's bound to happen isn't it." The TV star added: "We're all holding on by the skin of our teeth."
