Baroness Dido Harding tweeted that she was "feeling well" after getting the alert overnight.

"Nothing like personal experience of your own products," she added. "Many hours of Zoom ahead."

It comes a week after her husband, Conservative MP John Penrose, was told to isolate by the app, and days after Boris Johnson began self-isolating.

Baroness Harding was appointed the head of NHS Test and Trace back in May, and has since been appointed chair of the National Institute for Health Protection - England's new agency replacing Public Health England.

The 52-year-old is the former head of internet service provider TalkTalk, and for the past three years has been chair of NHS Improvement - focusing on driving up standards across the service.

She has come under criticism for her handling of NHS Test and Trace after a raft of issues, including delayed results and test centres struggling to keep up with demand.

Of course it'll fit; you just need a bigger hammer.
