Stephanie Davis says she's in 'worst pain ever' as Covid battle continues

Stephanie Davis says she is in the "worst pain ever" as she continues to battle Covid-19 in hospital.

The 28-year-old former Hollyoaks actress was rushed to hospital on Thursday.

She had earlier tested positive for coronavirus and was suffering with severe chest pains, low oxygen levels and painful skin.

Now the soap star has returned to Instagram to update fans on her battle.

Alongside a prayer emoji, Stephanie said that she's not eaten anything and is hardly sleeping.

"Hey everyone thanks for your messages, I've been feeling too s**t to reply," she said to her followers on Instagram.

"I've not been well at all, I've just had some morphine and that's really helped with the pain.

"I don't know what's been going on but I've been getting severe pains in my oesophagus and in my chest and, it's not indigestion because I've not ate anything.

"Even when I have a sip of water the pain is unreal, I don't know what's going on. I'm feeling very spaced out on the morphine so I'm going to go back to sleep. It's been horrific.

"The pain in my skin was the worst, I couldn't touch my skin and my chest is so bad, my oxygen levels aren't great. I'll get seen to in a bit when the doctors come round.

"People are all getting different side effects from what's going on - I'm guessing the pain in my chest is all linked as I've only just had this, when a sip of water goes down the pain is unreal.

"I've had some fluids as I'm dehydrated - I'll keep you all posted."

Stephanie is asthmatic and has not yet been vaccinated.

The actress 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.

Steph, who has a four-year-old son Caben-Albi layed Sinead O'Connor on Hollyoaks until 2019.

A spokesperson for her told Mail Online: "She has been in isolation and is awaiting a chest x-ray. She's at risk because of her underlying asthma."

"Stephanie has not been vaccinated yet because of her allergies and anaphylaxis."
