TOWIE star Harry Derbridge is facing an antagonising wait to see if his fiancé Dean Rowland has coronavirus.
Dean is thought to have been enjoying a two-week exploration holiday in Thailand before he fell ill.
The 35-year-old complained of 'flu-like symptoms' before seeking help from doctors upon his return to the UK.
Speaking to his 38,000 Instagram followers, Dean said: "I've basically been really ill with flu the last few days and as I have recently visited Thailand my doctors thought it would be best that I am tested for Corona virus [sic]."
Revealing he's now being held in isolation, at Basildon University Hospital, Dean added: "Tests are now done and I'll be isolated for the next few days until my results come back."
