Shirley and her partner Danny Taylor, 48, tested positive for Covid last year, with the illness leaving her bed-ridden. “Although I didn’t have to go to hospital, I was in bed for two weeks and I didn’t know my own name.

It was scary for a while,” she told The Sun.“I couldn’t get my act together, and that is not like me. I’m usually up at seven in the morning, going here and there.So it was quite an experience and it has left that tiring effect.“I’d had my first jab and then I got Covid, then I got over the Covid and I’ve just had my second jab,” she continued.“I would say that first jab definitely helped, for sure, so I’d encourage ­people to get their vaccine.
