Grace Victory's family say she is in a stable condition and responding well to treatment for coronavirus

The family of a YouTuber with Covid-19 who was placed in an induced coma say she is "responding well to treatment".

Grace Victory, 30, from High Wycombe, Buckinghamshire, developed mild symptoms two weeks ago but was taken into intensive care on Christmas Day.

The move came a day after she gave birth to her first child, a boy, who was not due to be born until February.

Her family said they were "truly overwhelmed" by the "amount of love" sent to Grace.

Also known as "The Internet's Big Sister", she joined YouTube in March 2011 and has amassed more than 221,000 subscribers with her videos about body image and pregnancy.
