On Wednesday, she shared an uplifting update with her fans as she revealed that her isolation period was over, and that because she hadn't been suffering from sickness during her time away, she had been able to enjoy herself. The mom-of-two shared some photos from her time off, including her enjoying some yoga, relaxing with a face mask and lots of enviable fragrances and bubble baths.

She also shared a snippet from when he co-stars checked in with her live on-air, her preparing some pizza in a mini-grill and, quite scarily, a photo of a shark in an aquarium.

"Aaaand I'm back from five days of covid isolation," she wrote. "So blessed that I didn't have much sickness, so it was a golden opportunity to do — nothing!

"Five days of faffing around: sleep, crazy face mask, rediscover yoga, sleep, another face mask, wordle, read, organize, sleep, quordle, binge watch, reheat pizza, scalp treatment (real bored), FaceTime, sunsets and counting the moments til reunion with my sweet babies!!!"

A third posted: "So glad you took the time to rest and recover, Savannah!" while a fourth questioned: "Wait, you need to tell us, what did you binge?"

Many others asked about the scalp oil, although sadly Savannah wasn't saying anything on that matter, while her co-star Carson Daly linked her to a video explaining the best ways to reheat pizza.
