Love Island nurse Rachel Fenton is hoping she will soon be able to return to the NHS return after being re-tested for coronavirus following her diagnosis with Covid-19.
The reality star, 27, who appeared on season two of the show, is an orthopaedic clinical nurse specialist, but she's been off work self-isolating since coming down with the deadly bug.
She's made a recovery and has been re-tested, and she's now hoping a negative a result will mean she's able to get back to nursing.
In a post on Instagram today, she revealed she's hoping to get her test results back by Friday.
She said: "I've been having lots of messages asking how I am and when my re-swabs are and what's the situation moving forward.
"I've had my first swab done and I'm going for my second one tomorrow. I haven't had any results back yet but I think I get them back on Friday.
"But I am not entirely sure. I know my work are really busy swabbing other nurses, so just having to be quite patient with this whole process.'
"My symptoms have completely gone now which is really good. I feel completely back to normal. I feel maybe a little more fatigued than I normally would.
"I'm still isolating at the moment until I get my two negatives and I can go back to work."
She explained she's still isolating at home, and her flatmate has shown no symptoms of the bug despite them being in such close quarters before Rachel's positive test.
The nurse went on: "Interestingly, she has had no symptoms whatsoever of coronavirus. She has been living with me when I got my positive diagnosis and she has not presented any symptoms.
"It's really weird. So she might have had it and just had no symptoms or she might not have had it. It's pretty strange."
Rachel previously explained her own symptoms were very mild. She didn't have a cough or a temperature, but she did lose her sense of smell and taste, and
She said: "My test came back positive. So many of you messaged me about loss of taste and smell which isn't in the official symptom list.
"But that was the main symptom for me. I didn't have a temperature or cough. I just felt very tired. I had a bit of muscle achiness and a cold.
"I have completely lost my taste and smell. It's a lot more severe."
Rachel shot to fame in the 2016 series of Love Island, and enjoyed an 18-month romance with co-star Rykard Jenkins.
She went back to nursing following her brief spell as a reality TV star.
