Peter Andre ‘s wife Emily has battled coronavirus in secret after they decided not to worry their children and keep it from them.
Emily, who is an NHS junior doctor, had to self-isolate for a fortnight back in March hen she became ill with a headache, aching limbs and a sore throat.
The 30-year-old discovered she has had coronavirus when she took a test yesterday and it revealed the virus’ antibodies.
The beauty says she also lost her sense of taste and smell, which are common symptoms of the deadly virus which has seen the world go into lockdown in a bid to stop it killing and spreading.

Emily, who works at a hospital in Surrey, took the test at work which revealed the antibodies in her system.
Speaking to The Sun, Peter told the publication how they kept it from “everyone” when Emily was ill, including the kids.
The pair decided not to tell Amelia, six, Theo, three, and his older children Princess, 12, and Junior, 15, as Emily “didn’t want to worry anyone”.

Peter said: “Emily became ill when the cases were soaring.
“Nobody knew the symptoms, not all doctors wore masks and Emily was very exposed.”
Peter also revealed that Junior became ill too and took to his bedroom to self-isolate away from his family.

Peter, added: “I thought, ‘I can’t get it. What will we do then?’'”
Emily is now recovered and back at work at the hospital as well as Junior.
But a worried Peter added: “Just because she’s had it doesn’t mean she’s immune. Is she even more likely to get it again?”
