Sandra Martin loses fifth person to coronavirus

Sandra Martin has lost a fifth person to coronavirus.
The former ‘Gogglebox’ star – who appeared on the Channel 4 show alongside best pal Sandi Bogle from 2013 until her exit four years later – revealed her sister-in-law’s daughter has passed away, a week after her brother’s wife also died from the respiratory illness.
She shared a heart-breaking photo of her crying, and tweeted: "MORE TEARS FOR ME .I AIN’T STOP CRYING. IT’S ALSO MAKING ME UNHAPPY. MY SISTER IN LAW DAUGHTER HAS ALSO PASSED AWAY. ..
"I WISH I COULD BE WITH MY BROTHER RIGHT NOW. AM NOT USE TO ALL THIS.IT’S KILLING ME. .EVERYONE IS DYING DAILY. (sic)"
The 58-year-old star opened up last week after her sister-in-law tragically lost her life, and revealed her brother is "devastated".
She said: "She did have underlying health issues before she passed away and my brother, who is now in self-isolation, is absolutely devastated by it.
"When I found out I started to cry and my daughter told me to pack my bags, so I am staying with her in Brixton at the moment.
"My friend’s dad died first, then my brother’s wife died, my uncle died and my good friend from Brixton died, it is all so tragic. What is going on?"
Sandra has urged people to listen to government advice and "stay home" amid the ongoing health crisis.
She added: "People need to stay home, they aren’t listening. Children aren’t listening to their parents as they aren’t paying attention to the social distancing.
"I know some people are doing the right thing and only going out if necessary but people will keep dying if they don’t listen."
