‘We don’t even really discuss it and we are going to leave it until next year, there’s no point in planning anything and everything has been put on hold.’ 

Lisa added the couple feel like they are already married so don’t feel in any kind of hurry.

After experiencing a fever, Lisa said by day eight her ‘lungs felt like lead and I was struggling to breathe’.

The star described it a ‘frightening’ time and said her symptoms got so bad she wasn’t able to leave the house for 25 days.
