First Dates waitress Laura Tott has tested positive for coronavirus after working as a paramedic on the NHS frontline.

Laura, who works in restaurant alongside maître d Fred Sirieix and fellow waitress CiCi Coleman, returned to work for the NHS after graduating as a paramedic last year and quickly caught the virus.

Speaking to fans on social media, Laura said, “I know I’ve been quieter on social media recently but I’ve felt like absolute rubbish. Never had any form of flu before so I’m not handling it well… Never slept so much!

“Just wanna thank every single person who is staying in their house and doing their bit still, let’s all beat this Rona b---h."
