Former Page 3 girl Linda Lusardi has taken to social media to share her first snap after being discharged from hospital following her coronavirus battle.
The ex-glamour-model, 61, took to Instagram on Saturday evening to post a snap of herself in bed with her beloved pet dog, Dexter.
Linda captioned the photograph: “So good to be home. Keep safe. Stay in and try to keep positive in this troubled time.”
The former Emmerdale actress appeared upbeat as she posed up a storm in her pyjamas surrounded by “get well” cards and flowers.
Linda’s celebrity pals were some of the first to share their love and support with the star as she recovered at home.
This Morning and Loose Women star Ruth Langsford penned: “So good to see you well again and smiling despite everything you’ve been through. Dexter cuddles are helping I’m sure! Take care and keep well x.”

Ruth’s hubby Eamonn Holmes posted a collection of clapping and kiss emojis.
Media personality Lizzy Cundy added: “Awww darling so good to see your smiling face again. You had me worried. Sending love.”
It comes after Linda said it’s “good to be home” on Friday after spending 10 days in hospital following her coronavirus battle.
Linda sent an health update to pals Eamonn and Ruth on This Morning after she and her husband Sam Kane contracted the deadly virus.

Linda revealed she was enjoying the ITV daytime show from the comfort of her bed while she continues to recover.
Reading to the message from Linda, Eammon said: “It’s fascinating who gets in touch with you just while we sit here.
“Here’s a lovely message from someone who suffered, her and her husband, with Covid-19. Hospitalised because of it and that is Linda Lusardi.
“She says, “Just enjoying watching you from my bed this morning Eamonn. So good to be home, love to you both”.

Linda’s message comes after she confessed that her coronavirus symptoms made her feel like she “wanted to die”.
The TV star revealed that her symptoms began with a fever before she began deteriorating to the point where she wanted to make herself sick to feel relief.
The couple’s son Jack, 20, made the decision to call an ambulance for them where they were given oxygen and driven to hospital.
Linda, who was left fearing that she would never see her children again, told The Sun after leaving hospital: “I was lying on the bed and had my arm over my head and thought, ‘I’m going, this is it,’ I could feel myself drifting away.”
