Rachel Burden, 56, has taken to Twitter to respond to a concerned fan, after she revealed that “Covid has finally caught up” with her. The BBC Breakfast host had explained that although she has been double vaccinated, she “might need a wee bit of time out” while suffering symptoms of the virus.
Speaking on her isolation period, Rachel typed last night: “I am at home on my own watching a documentary about biscuits.
“Isolation is the gift that keeps on giving,” she added.
One of her followers instantly responded: “Isn’t it great? Hope you’re well on the mend.”
Rachel admitted the Channel 4 documentary, The Secret World Of Biscuits narrated by Dawn French, had her full attention as she appeared to be feeling slightly better.

A fourth penned: “It’s the fatigue which is difficult to deal with. Take care and get well soon. X.”
Rachel previously informed listeners that she would be absent from her 5 Live show in a tweet last Monday.

“Currently self-medicating in bed with paracetamol and a mini magnum.
“@PatricKielty and @LauraMcGhie_ with you in the morning. Look after yourselves. X.”
