Nadia Sawalha will miss the National Television Awards
The ‘Loose Women’ panellist won’t be attending the star-studded ceremony at London's OVO Arena Wembley on Thursday night (13.10.22), due to a suspected case of COVID-19.
In a YouTube video posted, the 57-year-old broadcaster - who is nominated in the Daytime TV category as part of the ITV show - said: “There it all is. Guess who won’t be going to the National Television Awards?"
While she showed off her invitation to the biggest night in television, Nadia detailed how she had been bed-bound because of the “lurgy”.
The ex ‘Celebrity Big Brother’ star lamented about not being able to don her “lovely dress” and join her co-stars, including Jane Moore and Kaye Adams.
Nadia added: “My friend Simone was coming over to do my makeup, I’m supposed to be going with my friend Jordan in the car.
“Jane and Kaye are going. All the girls are going. Party afterwards. Nope.”
The ex-‘EastEnders’ star admitted the sickness had “floored” her and she believes the current lateral flow tests don’t “pick up” the new variant.
Nadia said: “I am convinced that the tests that we have now don’t pick up the new strains of COVID.
“That’s what I think because it’s very similar in the way COVID was – you start to feel better and then you just get hammered again and just have to go to bed,” before adding that the day before she had laid in bed “staring at the ceiling for three hours,” something Nadia “never” does.
