Emotional mother-of-two Nadia took to Instagram on Saturday to post an expletive video of herself criticizing the Health Secretary's actions, claiming her "heart had broken" for all the fellow parents and families who have been forced to stay apart from each other since the pandemic began.  

"My heart has broken over and over and over again listening to what people have had to sacrifice," said Nadia.

"Listening to the fact they haven’t been able to see their grandparents, their grandchildren, their parents, their loved ones, their boyfriends, their girlfriends. [Matt Hancock] stopped young people having sex!" the star continued, furious at the shocking revelation.
