RTE star Teresa Mannion has revealed she was “stopped in her tracks” after she contracted shingles while studying for her Leaving Certificate.
The reporter was left in severe pain for three weeks when she was a teenager after contracting the illness.
Teresa told us: “I was a teenager, and I was doing exams. It was the year of the Leaving Cert. I didn’t think I was any more stressed than anyone else. But it’s not entirely unheard of for a young person to get shingles.
