Laura Whitmore has encouraged people to “get vaccinated” as her friend is currently fighting for her life in hospital – after contracting Covid-19.
While restrictions are easing across the UK and Ireland, the TV presenter has warned her followers that the virus is still leaving people seriously ill.
Sharing a post by her pal Natalie Rushdie, which shows her lying in a hospital bed, Laura wrote on Instagram: “This is my friend @natalierushdie – talented musician, wife and mother.”
“This is Covid. Get vaccinated. Sending love to you and your family Natalie.”
Natalie’s post reads: “This is Covid. I have been fighting for my life the last week in hospital.”
“I don’t have much energy but I beg that you get the vaccine, (I got my vaccine text the day I found out that I had COVID) wear a mask and socially distance yourself because the alternative is horrific!”
“Please keep me in your thoughts and prayers,” she added.
