Love Island star Rachel Fenton also takes on how she was working till she was diagnosed here is what she said "I've not felt unwell, I've felt OK. Not 100 per cent, but not poorly. I've felt OK, still eating and still got an appetite. My symptoms are really mild. You need to be very careful if you've had a loss of taste and smell to isolate. I'm not going back to work now until I'm tested as negative. I'm not sure when they'll get me back for a re-swab. For now, I'm just isolating and looking after myself. It's not been horrendous for me.'

Love Island star Rachel Fenton also added that the test process of getting was very bad. Here is what she said about it. "The swab they do for the Coronavirus test is uncomfortable. My friend warned me about it and I'm so glad she did. I just want to warn you, they swab your nose and your throat. It goes far up your nose. It makes your eyes water and it's really far back in your throat too. It's not the most comfortable, but obviously so worth doing."
