‘Please stay safe everyone, stay home, wear masks & also check on loved ones regularly. The fight isn’t over for us yet, we are taking every day as it comes and praying a lot.
‘This new strain seems to be spreading like wild fire. Thank you for the well wishes to those who have known, for my family members that have been hospitalised by this awful, awful virus.’
She added: ‘Remember our mental health at his time us super important too. With so much uncertainty, we need to support each other through this & build each other up.
‘Sending love & I guess, luck to everyone at the minute. An even bigger thank you to the NHS for everything have done & are doing, our real true heroes.’

‘Our mental health has been tested, we’ve lost lives, & our anxiety has been pretty much pushed to the limit.
‘My emotions are all over the place but I’m just praying my loved ones get through this 2nd strain & we all have a prosperous & better 2021. Not to mention a wedding…. what a s**t show. Happy new year everyone.’
