Former Hollyoaks actress Stephanie Davis has told fans she's in "absolutely horrific" pain as she continues to battle Covid-19 in hospital.
The 28-year-old star was rushed to hospital on Thursday after earlier testing positive for coronavirus and has opened up to fans in a post online telling them she's "focused" on getting better.
In her latest Instagram story, she appeared drowsy and spoke to the camera lying down looking exhausted and barely able to keep her eyes open.
The actress, said: "Hi, guys, thanks for all your messages. I can't sleep well. I'm getting the camera down today. I woke up in pain. I'm just going to focus on getting well now but I just wanted to say, thank you for all your messages.
"I've woke up starving and I can't wait to be able eat again. But yeah, I'm sitting her on my love.
"Covid has been absolutely horrific."
"Today or yesterday was the worst day yet. I'm just focusing on getting better. But thank you for all your messages. It really means a lot .I'll let you all know when I'm feeling a little better."
Steph, who played Sinead O'Connor in the Channel Four soap until 2019, mentions having 'a camera down' and is most likely referring to an exploratory medical procedure - typically an endoscopy - where a camera is placed down the patients throat to assist with diagnosis.
She continued: I'm anxious as I'm getting the camera put down today but hopefully that will see what's causing me all the pain.
"I just want to come off this. I'm alright. I'm just sick of being in pain."
The mum-of-one signed off her post urging the public to 'stay safe', adding: "Please stay safe. Wear your masks, wash your hands. This is absolutely horrific. Love you guys."
Steph, who has a four-year-old son Caben-Albi, was previously seen wearing an oxygen mask and explained it felt like she had been 'run over.'
Despite only being in her twenties, the actress suffers from asthma so falls into a higher risk category for Covid.
Stephanie is known to suffer from serious food allergies and have a history of anaphylaxis which complicates whether she can have the vaccine, according to MailOnline.
The Government's Covid advice says jabs should not be given to those who 'had a previous systemic allergic reaction (including immediate-onset anaphylaxis)' to either a previous dose of the Covid jab, or any component of the jab.
The jab contains polyethylene glycol — a substance that can trigger allergic reactions in very rare cases.
