Speaking to The Herald in August, she said ‘I was lucky’ I didn’t get a bad case of it where I had to go to hospital. 

‘But there have been repercussions. I still get a bit tired. Sometimes it will just hit me. And I have a little bit of a cough and a slight case of asthma.

‘And to add to that I have a propensity to be a bit chesty. It’s always been in the family. Now, I think I have a mild case of long Covid.’ 

Speaking to The Mirror Lulu also revealed that she’d had both jabs, so she felt a little more confident about not having any long-lasting repercussions from the illness.

‘I’ve had two vaccinations, I’ve got antibodies up the wazoo!’ She laughed.
