Linda Lusardi’s hair is falling outafter recovering from Covid-19 battle

Linda Lusardi has opened up about her recovery process following her vicious battle with coronavirus.

The former page three girl, 61, suffered through 10 days of hell back in April when she was hospitalised with the deadly bug.

And although she has now fully recovered, Linda is experiencing some post-recovery symptoms such as hair loss.

The former glamour model has revealed that her husband Sam - who is 10 years her junior - is also experiencing hair loss after he was hospitalised with Covid-19 symptoms at the same time as her.

She told The Sun : "Sam's had heart palpitations quite badly, and he’s under a cardiologist at the moment. They can't see anything specifically wrong."

She added: "I've had some hair loss which has been a bit distressing. I still haven't got the energy I had before although I’m getting there. Every week's a bit better."

Linda's battle with the killer virus saw her be put on a drip and rely on a ventilator for 10 whole days.

Looking back on her horror battle, Linda even revealed there were times during those 10 days when she admitted she "prayed she wouldn't wake up" as she endured severe chest pain, vomiting and high temperatures.

The mum-of-two was eventually sent home, but has since recalled the terrifying moments where she thought she wouldn't make it.

She added: "It’s quite frightening when they're talking about the long-term effects and how it can damage your kidneys and your liver and so on. But I'm just glad I'm here."

The former model's two kids Lucy, 24, and Jack, 21, have had a hard time with their mum's close call.

She explained: "The mental trauma of it has touched us all even though it was me who was sick.

"My children had to deal with the fact they might lose both of us and then me, and the mental effect it’s had on us has been very traumatic really. I think we’re still suffering from post-traumatic stress disorder a little bit."
