Writing to her 29.1 million followers, wrote "Dear Fans,

"Rumours about whether I’m engaged or not, or whether my career is "dormant or not" are ways to create clicks each time they are revealed to be true or untrue."

She continued by promising her followers that she would keep them informed on any news, and assured them that just because there wasn't much news from her in the press, that she was still keeping busy.

"In the mean time please assume no news from me just means I'm quietly spending the pandemic the way most people are," she wrote. "Failing to make sourdough bread (!), caring for my loved ones and doing my best not to spread a virus that is still affecting so many people."

Finally, she sent love to her fans, and thanked the frontline workers who were keeping us safe during the COVID-19 pandemic.
