OHMYGOSSIP — Jo Whiley found it “emotional” seeing her sister after she tested positive for COVID-19.
The BBC Radio 2 DJ revealed her sister, Frances – who has learning disabilities and diabetes – tested positive for COVID-19 last week after an outbreak in her care home, and Jo has now said she welled up after spotting her sister waving from her hospital window.
Sharing a video of Frances, she tweeted: “Today we went to drop off a care package at the hospital where Frances has been fighting COVID. Emotional scenes when we were greeted by this little face coming to the window to wave at us. I told you she was special.”
Jo’s “worst fears” came true when her sister was diagnosed with the respiratory disease, as Frances was “so close” to getting her vaccine.
She said: “Feel like I’m in a terrible film with bad posts. Late last night I got a call to say that Frances, my sister, had tested positive & has COVID. Our worst fears realised after keeping her safe for a year & with a vaccine so close … she’s ok so far … Everything crossed. (sic)”
Jo also revealed that she has been offered her own coronavirus jab and admits she would give it up “in a heartbeat” to protect her sister.
The 55-year-old presenter said: “I feel like I’m living through a nightmare. The whole weekend has been awful. It’s been really, really difficult. And then ironically I got a message to say that I was due to have my vaccine before my sister, who’s got learning disabilities and underlying health conditions. I would give up my vaccine in a heartbeat, if I could, for my sister and any of the residents in her house to have their vaccine … it does not feel right.”
