Medical experts have shared advice and information on Shingles as many people across the UK have been suffering with the viral infection that causes a painful rash. It comes as ITV host Holly Willoughby is off from presenting This Morning for a “few days” due to having shingles.
In an Instagram post, Holly said: “Hi… Just to let you know I may be away for the rest of the week as I have shingles… I’ll be back as soon as I’m better. Huge love, Holly.”
The NHS says those who suspect they have the condition are advised to get advice from 111 as soon as possible. Anyone who has the illness is also advised to stay away from certain groups. The NHS states that you cannot spread shingles to others. But people who have not had chickenpox before could catch chickenpox from you. This is because shingles is caused by the chickenpox virus.
