It was brave of the 63-year-old to battle on through her illness, though when she tested positive for Covid in July, she of course took time off to recover.

"I thought I had escaped its clutches but I was recently laid low with blinding headaches, a bad cough and lots of aches and pains," Lorraine told HELLO! at the time.

"It was a nasty one and I had to take a week off work which was a real shock to the system, but it would have been a whole lot worse if I hadn't had both vaccines and the booster jab. I'm better now but still feeling a bit washed out and I get tired easily."

"Somehow they knew I needed a bit of extra TLC and time and time again dogs just instinctively seem to know how they can help us."

Here's hoping Lorraine feels better soon!
