She said: “I think the programme will help to de-stigmatise sexual health issues, and promote healthier attitudes to sex, including regular testing and condom use.

“The programme will demystify a lot of things, and make it easier for people to go to a sexual health clinic, and may even encourage communication between partners about their sex life.”

She has worked on the frontline during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Describing her experience to The Mirror, her diary included: “A colleague tells me of a nurse who died recently. I start to feel like healthcare workers have been left to be slaughtered. But there’s no time to dwell on it.”

Speaking to Huffington Post, he said a shift consists of: “My day starts really early.

“The phone is ringing. I’ve got to get through six people an hour. There are 900 HIV patients who need medication and people panicking about STI symptoms that need talking to. I barely have time to ask what their name is.”
