Lord Alan Sugar has revealed two siblings died of coronavirus within the space of two weeks.
The 73-year-old Apprentice star, whose brother Derek died this month after contracting the virus, confirmed his sister’s death in the early hours of Wednesday morning.
“My eldest sister Shirley passed away today at the age of 88,” he tweeted. “She had been sick for a while but I guess Covid got her in the end to join our brother Derek who passed two weeks ago.”
Lord Sugar also paid tribute to his “long suffering brother”, Derek, on 15 December, adding that he was “another victim of Covid” and had underlying health issues.
