This Morning presenter Lisa Snowdon is suffering coronavirus symptoms and is in self-isolating lockdown with her fiance George Smart.
Lisa, 48, a regular on This Morning, took to Instagram to update followers on their condition, telling people how important it is to stay at home because symptoms come in ‘waves’ and even though you think you are well you could be a super-spreader.
She went on to reveal that she felt so ‘wiped out’ for the first couple of days she could barely get out bed, staying in her pyjamas all day, but has since found showering and getting dressed has made her feel a bit better.

In an Instagram video called “Coronavirus-Isolation Day 4”, Lisa explained:
“George started feeling ill on Friday evening, but you kind of have to work out your symptoms yourself.
“There’s a checklist of coronavirus symptoms but different people have different symptoms I’m finding.
“George had a fever on Friday and luckily I had a Peppa Pig thermometer in the first aid kit that I bought years ago for the kids.
“I took his temperature and it was raging high, really scary high, and I thought it was flu. He had a headache, he didn’t have a cough, he had a fever.”

Lisa went on to explain that coronavirus symptoms feel ‘quite different’ to the flu and likened the fever to the menopause.
She said: “Headaches for us are quite severe. I’ve got a dry cough, it’s a persistent cough. I haven’t really had a fever though but because I’m very menopausal I get hot flushes.

“I was joking with my friend earlier that it was coronapause. A corona/menopause situation. Maybe it’s too early to joke about those things.”

So far, there have been 422 deaths from coronavirus in the UK but people are still not being tested if they think they have the disease.
