The flustered star said: "Well it is, gosh. I've got Covid so I don't really know what to say, it's a bit of a shock really.
"I feel OK, I just did this Morning and then I gave a right cough while I was on the telly and I thought that's a nit weird, got on the back of the motorbike to come home again, felt slightly queasy, which I never do."
Thinking she might be developing a cold, Vanessa took a lateral flow test and received the dreaded two red lines.
Her followers wished her well and daughter Allegrah commented: "So sorry Mum! Wishing you better! Will send chicken soup if that will help! ❤️❤️."
Guests in the This Morning studio today included Deputy Labour Leader Angela Rayner and Strictly judge Motsi Mabuse.
Last night Vanessa enjoyed a boozy knees up at The London Cabaret Club where she rubbed shoulders with Loose Women's Linda Robson.
This morning she was full of beans as she presented her Radio 2 show with Vernon Kay in a neighbouring studio.
Vanessa's positive test comes just a day after Holly Willoughby made her return to the show following a bout of the illness.
The 41-year-old missed more than a week of the show as well as the Dancing On Ice semi-final,

Her followers rushed to share their excitement about seeing her back on screen, with one writing: “You've been missed, I'm so glad you're back💕💕.”
Another added: “It’s so lovely to see your face again!!! Glad you’re feeling much better, hope the ‘rona didn’t affect you too badly 💗💗.”
While someone else wrote: “Yesssssssssssss thank God.”
