Peter Andre 'extremely tired and unwell' after testing positive for Covid-19
Peter Andre is battling Covid-19, reports say.
The singer and reality star, 47, is said to have tested positive for coronavirus despite not knowing how he could have contracted it.
Now he’s said to be “extremely tired and unwell.”
A source told The Sun: “Peter started feeling unwell a few days ago, but he didn’t suspect that he had Covid, despite feeling extremely tired and unwell.
“But he decided to go for a test to make sure as he started feeling very weak, which is unusual for him and he struggles to breathe sometimes.”
The insider added that Peter has “barely been out and has spent most of his time at home with his family.”

They continued: “Because Emily is working and the UK is in lockdown, Pete has no option but to look after his four children as normal and isolate away from Emily at home.”
“There’s no-one else to look after the children and he doesn’t want to put anyone else at risk of catching it.
“The whole family are in quarantine now.”

Today also marks youngest daughter Amelia’s seventh birthday.

Meanwhile, Pete also has Junior, 16, and Princess, 13, with ex-wife Katie Price.
NHS doctor Emily has been on the frontline against coronavirus since the pandemic’s beginning, and tested positive for Covid back in July.
She was forced to isolate herself within their home, recalling after she’d recovered: “I was only able to wave at them from the top of the stairs. Myself and Pete also slept in separate bedrooms just to be on the safe side.

“It was horrible but the family adapted to it really well and I got a big hug at the end. I had a sore throat and lost my sense of smell and taste for a week.”
The news of Pete’s Covid battle comes as the UK recorded its highest ever daily rise for the second day on the trot.
Sending Peter all the best for a speedy recovery.
