In a short video she filmed in a white nightie from her bed, she explained: “I’m speaking to you from my bed because I’ve got this, yes Covid. And I’ve slept for about two days – well not really – and I feel great now, I feel as though I’m ready to get back to work.
“I’ll do another test later and hopefully it’s negative, that’s my news. And for the first time I’ve put a nightie on.
“I thought it’s best to do that before I do the video,” she added.
