Reassuring her followers, she continued: ‘Don’t want a million messages, I’m sweet just not well, will sort it all out when I’m feeling better.

MailOnline has contacted a Livello spokesperson for comment.
Nikita appeared on MAFS UK in 2021 but her stint was short-lived because she was axed following a foulmouthed outburst at her fellow cast members.
The Geordie had to be dragged away from the show’s first dinner party by security in the midst of her expletive ridden rant.
Bosses later told the newlywed she would have to leave the series for breaking E4’s code of conduct, abruptly ending husband Ant Poole’s stint on the dating programme.
A spokesperson for E4 told MailOnline: ‘The wellbeing of cast and crew is our utmost priority at all times throughout production and beyond.
‘During filming, a situation escalated off camera and Nikita displayed a level of aggression that was unacceptable and breached our agreed code of conduct on behaviour.
‘As a result, she was asked to leave the experiment. All involved have been offered support and Nikita has since apologised and resolved the situation with those involved.’

Nikita later apologised for her actions, telling The Sun: ‘I am truly sorry for any upset I caused during my time in the experiment. However, I will always stand up for what I believe in,’ she said.
She said that while she can be ‘loud and lairy’, she is a ‘good person’ who defends her friends and believes that her antagonistic behaviour means she is ‘misunderstood’.
Nikita became ‘overwhelmed and stressed’ at the dinner party, which sees brides and grooms come together to asses their relationships, but accepts that producers were forced to remove her from the show.
She returned to the series for the reunion episode when she confronted her ex Ant and co-star Alexis Economou who reentered the experiment as a new couple after failing to find love with their original spouses.
