Donna's outing came after she revealed that she has gone up two jeans sizes since the pandemic began last year by eating cheese and multiple takeaways a week.

However, the actress insisted she has no plans to lose the extra pounds anytime soon as she said she is 'quite happy about it' and loves her new 'curves'. 

Speaking to new! magazine about keeping in shape during lockdown, Donna said: 'I've been quite relaxed about what I eat.

'For the first time in my life, I've finally put on some weight, which is amazing.

'I've gone up two jeans sizes during lockdown and it's never, ever happened in my life no matter how much I've tried, so I'm actually quite happy about it. I kind of like my new curves.'

At the beginning of the pandemic, Donna revealed that she had contracted Covid-19.  

She told her fans on Twitter that she had tested positive for coronavirus at the end of March 2020, writing: 'I hope everyone is managing to stay strong and in relatively good spirits during the lockdown.

'I just wanted to let you know developed mild flu like symptoms and started self isolating 18 days ago, I took a test for some clarity & the results tested positive for Covid19.

'Thankfully symptoms improved shortly after and my loved ones are not displaying any signs of the virus. 

'I will continue to follow government guidelines & in the meantime I am sending masses of love to you all, especially those on the front line.'

Later that year in October, Donna said that she believed contracting the virus left her with memory loss and 'brain fog'.
