The 'Love Island' star insists the virus is "not a joke" after she has been holed up in bed fighting the virus.

Taking to Instagram, she shared a selfie looking worse for wear and captioned it: "This corona s*** is not a joke. Been bed bound for days and now has tested positive so has Mandi."

Mandi, her sister, revealed they had been tested earlier in the day.

She wrote on her own social media accounts: "So me and Anna both got tested for Covid. I'm not that bad to be honest, I had one night that was bad and I have a regular cold, but I'm dealing with it. It's not my worst cold. Anna has been really bad, completely bed bound. Me, Anna, my mum and dad are all isolating right now at our place because my parents were staying at ours before Tier 4 got announced."

It comes after Anna returned to her job as a pharmacist amid the coronavirus pandemic.

The former 'Love Island' star quit her role to appear on the 2019 series of the ITV2 dating show, but decided to go back to work after "it felt wrong" not to help people amid the pandemic.

Taking to Instagram in April, she shared a snap of herself wearing a mask and gloves in the pharmacy.

Anna wrote: "First day back working as a Pharmacist since leaving Love Island. It's been almost a whole year! Wow can't believe how fast it's gone. Wasn't really planning on registering yet but with everything that's going on it felt wrong not to. We can all fight this together. Stay safe. Stay home. Save lives. (sic)"
