She initially shared her symptoms on Sunday morning, writing: "Day Nurse is a wonderful medicine isn't it? Feeling pretty grim (not Covid) with blocked ears, sore throat and achy muscles. 2 tablets have got me up enough to make a cuppa… exhausted now so back to bed. Both cats nursing me."

At the time she said: "I'm so achy today. No Covid but whole bod in need of a recharge," and fans were quick to check she was sure she didn't have Covid.
One wrote: "Hope you are better soon. If you have done a covid test, remember it is better to do it in the throat and not nose," while another advised: "I tested negative even though I had sore throat and achey. Did another test later in the day and was positive."
