Fiona Phillips has coronavirus.

The 59-year-old television presenter has become the latest celebrity to reveal they are battling with the respiratory illness, but has told her followers not to "panic", as her symptoms have been mild so far.

She wrote on Twitter: "I am in bed with #coronvirusuk It\'s not a very pleasant bedfellow, but nothing more than sore throat, dry cough, headache & tiredness. As long as it stays that way....DON\'T panic! (sic)"

Following her post, Fiona was flooded with messages of support, with one comment even coming from her former \'GMTV\' co-host Eammon Holmes.

He told her: "Get well soon Miss Fyona. Keep us posted x (sic)"

Fiona\'s diagnosis comes after actress Linda Lusardi and her husband Sam Kane were both taken to hospital amid fears they are suffering from the virus, also known as COVID-19.

Sam gave fans an update on their situation on Friday (20.03.20), saying they are both "stable but very ill" as they await tests.

He wrote on social media: "To all who know us. Linda and I have been taken to hospital and will be tested for Covid 19 at some point very soon. We are both stable but very ill.

"Thank you for all of your messages of support. Could I please ask that you hold off from any messaging at this time.

"Your concern means the world to us. Prayers and positivity in abundance please if you have time. Thank you all. Stay safe. Xxx (sic)"

Linda, 61, had previously informed fans on her condition on Thursday (19.03.2) as she revealed she "wouldn\'t wish" the symptoms of the virus "on anyone".

She tweeted: "I want to thank you all for your good wishes. Sam and I have had COVID-19 symptoms and are in isolation so we do not spread it to anyone else. We are taking it one-day-at-a-time, that\'s all we can do. But let me tell you we\'ve never felt this ill, EVER!
