'Unfortunately Olivia and I tested positive for the spicy flu on Monday the 22nd after we were having a good chat on Insta,' she wrote. 

'Olivia has been dizzy, nauseous and had a backache for two days but is now all better. Just a blocked nose.

'Macy, the little weapon, is still negative and her quarantine period ends tomorrow [Friday] but I will keep her at home until Monday and do a few rapid tests just to be extra cautious.'

Kylie said she'd been 'hit the hardest in our family' but had managed to get some fresh air in the garden earlier in the week, which made her feel better.

She added: 'Right now I am just sleeping, hydrating and keeping up with checks and talking to the [healthcare] team each day.

'Sitting out in the sun was really nice yesterday [Wednesday]. I'm hoping to get out there again soon.'

Kylie continued: 'This is a scary virus and there are so many different symptoms and severity. Today has been a rough day but hopefully I will turn the corner tomorrow.'

Jonathan also addressed his wife and daughter getting Covid on Browny's Podcast on Wednesday, saying: 'The problem is I've brought poor old Kyles down, as well.

'Think she's now suffering. For a while there it was just me and little Jack Brown, my eight year-old son, that had it.
