The 36-year-old, who shares three children with the former prime minister, struggled to breathe properly after falling ill with a chest infection over Christmas. She said she was yet to fully recover from the illness and urged others to get the flu jab.
“I didn’t expect to spend the first week of 2025 in hospital,” she said in an Instagram post. “After having a nasty chest infection for nearly 18 days at home over Christmas, it just got out of hand and I was struggling to breathe properly. “Hospital confirmed I had flu and pneumonia.
“I was there nearly a week and I’m still not recovered. It could take another few weeks until I feel like myself again.”. The caption was accompanied by a picture showing the end of a hospital bed and another of her son Wilf’s “favourite dinosaur toy ‘Greenie’”, and her daughter Romy’s princess key ring, which she said they gave her to take to hospital.
