Kerry Katona fears she has been struck down with coronavirus just days after revealing her daughter Molly McFadden is showing symptoms of the virus.
The former Atomic Kitten star, 39, has revealed she’s got a “dry cough and sore throat” and will be “isolating as long she she needs too”.
Kerry admitted her anxiety is “through the roof” as she follows the government rules to self-isolate at home.
In her new! magazine column, the media personality penned: “As I write this, I’ve got some symptoms too.
“I’ve got a dry cough and sore throat, and I feel weak and dizzy sometimes, so we are isolating ourselves for as long as we need to.”

Mum-of-five Kerry said she her and eldest daughter Molly, 18, are yet to be tested but was left “frightened” when a health worker came to their house in “head to toe in scrubs and mask”.
The former I’m A Celeb champ said: “‘We haven’t been tested, but the doctor says we need to be cautious, so no one’s leaving this house for the foreseeable.”
Health specialists have recently been urging the government to recognise lose of sense of taste or smell as a tell-tale coronavirus symptom.
Currently, the only symptoms the NHS lists as ones which make coronavirus likely are a recurring cough or a fever or high temperature.

Other less often reported symptoms include headaches, sickness, diarrhoea and a blocked nose, according to World Health Organisation data.
Last week, Kerry took to social media to reveal fears for her daughter but was soon relived as she got help from This Morning’s Dr Ranj.
The TV star shared her relief once Dr Ranj reached out to her, and uploaded a post titled “Information for parents on kids and coronavirus”, which gives parents tips if their child is suffering from Covid-19 symptoms.

Kerry also thanked the former Strictly Come Dancing contestant and admitted she felt “so much better” after taking his advice.
She penned: “Just been sent this which has the correct information on. Which makes me and I’m sure many others so much better.
“Being a mother of 5 and my eldest having the symptoms it’s been really scary stay safe people and stay home thank you to @drranj for sending me this xxx (sic).”
