Jennie popped up on YouTube so off I went to see what she is doing now. It turns out she'd been struggling with long term sickness since 2019.
Google actually returned:
she has been living with Myalgic Encephalomyelitis (ME/CFS) following a severe Epstein-Barr virus infection. Her symptoms, which she described in 2021 as leaving her a "shadow of her former self," include severe fatigue, chronic pain, and post-exertional malaise.
Apparently most of us carry the Epstein-Barr virus but sometimes, for some unlucky people, it gets really nasty.
I hope she recovers fully and returns to acting - I've always found her very watchable since she appeared in Desperate Romantics and starred in WPC 56 on UK TV.
I have always depended on the kindness of Strangers - and the bastards let me down!
