Nadia Sawalha has revealed she’s tested positive for Covid-19 and says she’s “completely” lost her taste and smell.
The Loose Women star, 57, shared the news on Instagram and asked fans for advice on how she could get her senses back, as she posted a selfie with two tissues hanging from her nose.
Alongside the photo, Nadia wrote: “HELP ! Advice !? Having tested positive. I’ve completely lost my taste and smell ?!
“I’m a cook ! Major problem. My daughters hasn’t come back after 18 months !!
“This feels like the kind of cold we used to get in the 90s ?!!! Proper blow your face off sneezes , runny nose , achy body , sleeplessness , fatigue . Old fashioned cold ! So am hoping my sense of smell will come back like it would have in the 90’s ?!!
“Any advice appreciated ? Anyone got any ideas on what I can do with in the early days to ensure get my senses back ?!”
Nadia’s followers were quick to wish the star a speedy recovery, with one writing: “Hope you’re ok – mine came back after 8 days – hope yours does too”.
Another person added: “Just chill. And take care.” Meanwhile, a third commented: “Sending lots of love and well wishes Nadia”.
Nadia has been married to her husband Mark Adderley since 2002 and they share two children together called Mimi and Kiki.
The star recently opened up on how her eldest daughter “saved her” after she was “heading for an early death”.
Looking back on the time she became a mother for the first time on the How To Stay Married (So Far) podcast, Nadia, 57, admitted she and Mark weren't in the mindset of becoming parents when she fell pregnant.
"We were a beautiful disaster, we were two quite broken people when I think about it,” the TV host said alongside her husband.
"When you think about how much we used to drink, we used to think it was funny to lie in the road and see if we would get run over!"
Nadia went on to say: "I was 38 years old and I had lived my life exactly as I wanted to all my life. I lived out of a suitcase for years, I was always on the move, I would party hard, I smoked like a maniac.
"I was heading to an early death, I really was.”
"Maddy saved my life,” she said. “Because I was just looking at this baby and saying, ‘Right, who am I going to be?’
"That was literally my turning point in my life."
