Sharing a candid video, the new mother said: ‘I’ve been so ill all day. I was petrified I had coronavirus but I had a test and it came back negative. 

‘I feel horrific, I don’t know what it is, it could be a chest infection, flu or hayfever. Gosh, I just don’t know.’

Lydia then shared a video of her house as she admitted: ‘This is when you know I’m ill. Dirty nappy on the floor of the house. It looks an absolute mess everywhere… a rotten banana. My God, no energy.’

Although the star looked at the positives as she went on to post a sweet photo with her daughter Loretta, four months, which she captioned: ‘Felt so ill all day thank God for you.’

Lydia also shared a sweet video where she sung to her baby daughter and she giggled back at her.

It comes after the star, who recently reunited with baby daddy and on-off boyfriend Lee Cronin, detailed her birth experience.

The reality star said how she got the water birth she’d ‘always dreamed of,’ with no pain relief, The Holiday soundtrack playing in the background and a surprise craving for Pukka pies. 

She explained how hypnobirthing – a popular breathing and mind control technique learnt during pregnancy that helps with relaxation and pain management in labour – helped her.    

Not feeling 100%: Lydia then shared a video of her house as she admitted: 'This is when you know I'm ill. Dirty nappy on the floor of the house. It looks an absolute mess everywhere... a rotten banana. My God, no energy.'

Lydia continued: ‘I also wanted music playing again to add to that calming effect. Now you might laugh but I had classic music playing, I’m not a fan of classical music, I like grime, I like Stormzy but for me I really wanted this album playing.

‘I’m a massive fan of the movie The Holiday, it’s my favourite movie and I love the soundtrack that plays throughout the movie. 

‘I also had flickering candles, obviously you cant have normal fire candles because of health and safety but I managed to get hold of some flickering ones so it still gave that effect of peacefulness.’

Lydia then revealed that she opted to use no pain relief because she does not usually like taking any kind of medication. 

However, the reality star did admit the one thing she got wrong was packing healthy snacks like dried fruit and nuts.

Lydia continued: ‘When I was in labour all I wanted was a Pukka pie and chips, so that’s what I had.’
