Love Island 2018 star Adam Collard has revealed he's tested positive for coronavirus following his recent holiday in Greece; comparing his symptoms to a 'bad hangover.'
Admitting the pal he holidayed with has tested negative - claiming he doesn't actually know where he caught COVID-19 - Adam took to Instagram to update followers on his diagnosis and how he's getting on in self-isolation. Posting on Stories, Adam said: "A hell of a lot of people DM'ing me asking what this is like and where it's from etc."
He continued: "First point, my best mate and me shared a bed/flight for 4 days together in Greece and he's tested negative and I'm positive.
"So it could be from anywhere. Done 50+ tests in gym and all negative.
"Secondly, it obviously can be caught by anyone since I'd like to think I'm fitter and healthier than the average joe. No exceptions."
So modest.
Comparing COVID symptoms to a 'hangover,' Adam added: "Third: How bad is it people keep messaging?
"For me, it's actually ok, manageable. Best way to describe it is like a bad hangover with a mega dry throat. Annoying more than anything and it comes in waves."
