The independent councillor released a statement on January 7 apologising to residents and saying that she "thought she could exercise once a day while in isolation".
At a Swaffham Town Council meeting held over Zoom on January 13, 2021, the ex-Conservative councillor apologised to her colleagues before stating she would not resign.
