Martha Kalifatidis is recovering at home after testing positive for Covid-19 last month.
On Saturday, the 33-year-old revealed in an Instagram Stories post the one lingering symptom she can’t shake off, after finally getting a decent ‘eight hours’ of sleep.
The Married At First Sight star said she’s lost her taste and wasn’t able to enjoy a barbecue on Friday with her fiancé Michael Brunelli and her mother Mary Kalifatidis.

Lounging across her bed and dressed casually, Martha gave fans an update on her recovery from Covid-19.
‘Last night I finally got to sleep. I had a solid eight hours of sleep and I feel so much better today,’ she began.
‘But I have lost my taste. Last night we had a barbecue, Michael, Mary and I, and I couldn’t taste and they were enjoying it,’ Martha went on to reveal.
‘They even ate a Cornetto (ice cream) for dessert. I didn’t have one obviously because I couldn’t taste it.’

Martha then started a poll, asking her followers whether they still ‘eat treats if you can’t taste’.
‘Do you still eat if you can’t taste? I don’t get it,’ she asked her fans.
Despite the loss of taste, Martha revealed that she’s feeling like herself again and is ‘back’.

New South Wales and Victoria have kicked off 2022 with record numbers of new Covid-19 cases.
NSW recorded another 22,577 cases and four deaths on Saturday as the state’s huge outbreak continues to surge.
It is another daily case record, surpassing Friday’s 21,151.

Meanwhile, Victoria recorded another 7442 Covid-19 infections for the final day of 2021, starting the new year with another pandemic record.
It is a jump of more than 1500 cases on Friday’s 5919 infections.
Martha and Michael, 31, who also tested positive for Covid-19 following their trip to the United States, previously spoke about their symptoms on Instagram after contracting the virus despite both being double vaccinated.
‘Covid sucks. It is so f**king s**t. Some people are like, “It’s just a cold,” but it is a pretty s**t one. It’s like tonsillitis, gastro and the flu in one,’ said Martha.

She added that Michael did ‘projectile vomit’ at the start of his symptoms, which is quite uncommon.
In a post on Instagram Stories last month, Michael revealed that he and Martha were sleeping separately because he’d been ‘going to war with my sheets, pillows and doona’.
But the following day, he said he’d finally had a good night’s sleep and didn’t experience any ‘cold sweats’.
‘Still have a little bit of a sore throat, but it’s getting better. A little bit nasally, a little bit lethargic, but still feel a lot better than yesterday,’ he added.
