Michelle Heaton 'trying her best to smile' after being in self-isolation for coronavirus

Michelle Heaton has given an update on her situation after being in self-isolation for coronavirus.

The former Liberty X star, from Gateshead , posted on Instagram on Monday to say that she and her family had been staying home as a precautionary measure after a neighbour had tested positive for coronavirus.

She posted: "We do not have any symptoms… kids, me and Hugh have been told to go about our normal daily life, unless we show symptoms!"

“That’s the advice and what’s been explained to us from the authorities. However, for those at school with our children, we are keeping Faith and AJ, and myself on 'house isolation' after much deliberation.

"Just for a few days even though, again, we have NO symptoms [at the moment]! And have NOT been in contact with the confirmed. I know some of you will be like 'omg she’s dramatic' take it as you wish…we are just as worried as everyone."

On Saturday afternoon, as it was revealed the coronavirus deaths in the UK has risen to 21 , Michelle, 40, revealed to her many Instagram followers that, after their spell in isolation, she and her children would be heading out for the first time, uploading a picture of them and her with an update.

She posted: "Trying my best to smile through the fact we don’t know how, what’s happening, can or may effect us all. Many loved ones vulnerable.

"I did the whole 7 day isolation thing last week. So who ever sees us out and about I’m prob less like to give u anything (NOT THAT I OR WE HAD IT) then you are to us! Everyone has opinions and their views .. until we are forced into something we can’t control!
"But control what you can.. have fun, buy food, wash hands, be smart, try smile, and if your 8yr old has a gymnastics competition on a Saturday afternoon representing  #radlettgymclub  at the amazing  @affinitygymnastics  Then unless it cancelled (which It isn’t) ... I’m dammed if she misses it."
