Linda Lusardi has revealed she’s “extremely ill” with coronavirus.

The former model and Loose Women star told a fan she had been struck down with the virus in a tweet on Wednesday.

The fan had contacted the 61-year-old star asking if she could send a message to her granddad.

But Linda replied: “Sorry Kerry. I am extremely ill with Corona at the moment.”

Linda appeared on Dancing On Ice in 2008, finishing in sixth place with her professional dancer Daniel Whiston.

She shot to fame in the seventies and eighties as a page 3 girl in The Sun, and in 2005 was voted the UK’s most popular ever.

Linda isn’t the only star to test positive for the virus.

Other famous names currently self-isolating include Idris Elba, Tom Hanks, Game Of Thrones star Kristofer Hivju and Bond actress Olga Kurylenko.

HuffPost UK has contacted Linda’s reps for comment.
