Hilary Duff has tested positive for COVID-19.

The Younger star has a "bad headache" and is struggling with her taste and smell as well as "brain fog" and "sinus pressure" after being struck down by coronavirus.

Sharing a selfie on Instagram, Hilary - who has had her coronavirus vaccines - wrote alongside it: "That delta (variant) " She's a little b**ch. Symptoms: bad headache. No taste or smell. Sinus pressure. Brain fog. Happy to be vaxxed. (sic)"

Hilary tested positive just as filming started for How I Met Your Mother spin-off series How I Met Your Father.

And the star - who has Luca, nine, with her ex-husband Mike Comrie and Banks, two, and Mae, four months, with her husband Matthew Koma - previously admitted it was challenging filming her show Younger whilst pregnant amid the pandemic.

She explained: "I was a little worried with the challenges of COVID and my pregnancy, but everything came together. I'm all for mask-wearing, but huffing-and-puffing on set in a mask at eight months pregnant was a challenge.

"Fitting into clothes that aren't made for a pregnant body was not always the most comfortable or fun. And just being freaked out to being exposed to COVID " there are always risks, even though our set was super cautious. I had to quarantine a bunch of times and that was really hard!"
