Vanessa Feltz has tested positive for Covid just minutes after filming This Morning.

The stunned presenter, 60, confirmed she had tested positive for the virus after arriving home from the This Morning studio.

Breaking the news on her Instagram stories, she said: ‘Well it is, gosh. I’ve got Covid so I don’t really know what to say, it’s a bit of a shock really.

‘I feel OK, 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 do.’

Despite thinking she was just suffering from a cold, Vanessa took a lateral flow test at home which turned out to be positive.

‘I’ve watched loads of you! I feel like you’ve been in my house the whole time!’

 ‘I had sort of 48 hours of feeling rubbish, head on the pillow, headache, afterwards felt like I just had a cold,’ she said of her symptoms.

‘I’m fine now, but just waiting for that line to go – every morning – it was like the worst advent calendar in the world.’ 

This Morning has contacted a spokesperson from This Morning for comment on this story.
