TV presenter Vanessa Feltz revealed she has tested positive for Covid after appearing on This Morning.

The broadcaster shared the news on Instagram and said it was “a bit of a shock” but added that she did not “feel that bad”.

She said: “I feel okay, I just did This Morning and then I gave a right cough while I was on the telly and I thought that’s a bit weird.

“I got on the back of the motorbike to come home again, felt slightly queasy, which I never, never do and thought have I got a cold? I better test and here it is, positive.”

Among the wellwishers commenting on the news was Holly Willoughby who said: “Oh no!!!! Hope your ok… sending lots of love.”

Willoughby herself only returned to the ITV show yesterday after testing positive for the virus with co-star Phillip Schofield presenting instead with Josie Gibson and Alison Hammond.

Making her return to the show, Willoughby said: “It’s so nice to be back. I feel like I’ve been gone forever – I’ve watched loads of you.

“I had 48 hours of feeling really rubbish, you know, just in bed, head on the pillow, headache, all that kind of stuff, and then after that I just felt like I had a bit of a cold but fine… it was just waiting for that line to go every morning.

“It was like the worst advent calendar in the world.”

When Schofield tested positive for Covid earlier this year, Willoughby presented an episode of the show with Stephen Mulhern.
