Linda Lusardi, who battled Covid-19 in intensive care earlier this year, has claimed the life-threatening bug is man-made.
At the start of the coronavirus lockdown, the 61-year-old along with husband Samuel Kane, contracted virus, and both were rushed into hospital after struggling to breathe.
Due to her health worsening, she was admitted into intensive care and, after making a full recovery, was released from hospital 10 days later.
Speaking to hosts Joanna Chimonides and Stephen Leng on Fubar Radio’s Access All Areas about contracting the virus, the former Page 3 model revealed the symptoms were so bad, she doesn’t think Covid-19 is “a natural thing”.

She said: “It’s nothing like you’ve ever experienced before. I’ve had the flu before. To me, it doesn’t feel natural. I mean I um and ah whether it’s man-made because it doesn’t feel like anything I’ve ever, ever experienced before.
“To be vomiting up blue doesn’t seem normal to me. I think in the next two years we’re going to find out a lot more about it all. I don’t feel like it’s a natural thing.
“If it has come from a bat in a Chinese market then maybe that’s why, but it’s a very odd disease.”
What started as an epidemic mainly limited to China has now become a global pandemic.
Thankfully, the TV presenter is over the worst of the virus now, explaining: “Well I’ve been home about nine to ten weeks now, so really I’m almost back to 100%.
“I don’t know if it’s just the fact that I’ve been laid up that I feel so unfit, but apart from that, health-wise I feel fine. I just haven’t got a lot of energy.”

With lockdown easing, and some Brits not adhering to social distancing guidelines, Linda confessed she’s worried about a second spike.
“We hear these figures on the news every night about how many people have died but to a lot of people, that’s just a number. They don’t think that each individual one of those has a family and they were a person, not a number, not a statistic.
“It just worries me that it’ll make it spike again,” she explained.
