Joe Swash says he thinks he had coronavirus when he won Dancing on Ice last month. Former EastEnders star Joe won the ITV show last month, despite ill health.
Stacey Solomon's partner was battling an ear infection at the time and had to wear an enormous bandage over his head. However, the 38-year-old star now thinks it could have been something more serious.
Joe, who risked being ruled unfit from the competition for his ill health at the time, said: "In the final week of the competition I was really ill, I had a bad ear, I was being sick quite a lot, I had fever." He continued telling Mirror Online: "I think I may have had corona in the last week of Dancing On Ice." A high temperature is one of the two main symptoms of coronavirus.
