DENISE Welch has revealed she was removed from the Hollyoaks set after testing positive for Covid. The 63-year-old, who plays Trish Minniver on the Channel 4 soap, slammed the “ridiculous” testing system after she received mixed results from her lateral flow and PCR.
She tweeted: "Just had covid. Nothing like the bronchitis I had recently which was most ill I’ve ever been. Lost taste & smell with both.
At work 10 days ago. “Was removed from set & they had me tested. LF & PCR taken at same time. LF was negative, PCR came back positive.
Go figure. “By the way I’m not negating the danger of Covid in some people. I just lost my dad to pneumonia. All horrible virus’.
