A woman has admitted going clubbing to intentionally try and catch Covid-19 so it does not disrupt her wedding plans.

The barmy Aussie bride-to-be posted videos on TikTok of her hugging strangers, sharing their drinks and dancing in a packed nightclub to actually try and catch the potentially killer virus.

She is due to tie the knot in February and with Omicron running riot in Australia – where infections are approaching 100,000 a day and many more people are having to isolate – she hatched her plan, Mirror Online reports.

She captioned the clip, which was titled "Catch Covid not feelings", saying: "POV your wedding is in six weeks and you still haven't had Covid".

Experts have said she is extremely foolish.

Despite Omicron now being recognised as more easily spread, but potentially less dangerous than other strains, it can still be a killer in some cases.

There is also the chance she might catch another deadlier strain of the disease.

Professor Chris Whitty, England's chief medical officer, has said people should not underestimate the threat of the new variant.

He said: "We're concerned that people are dismissing Omicron as mild. Even if Omicron does cause less severe disease the sheer number of cases will once again overwhelm health systems."

Other experts have pointed out it is also possible to get the virus more than once.

People are being urged to get their booster jabs as soon as possible to try and limit the affects of the virus.

Other brides to be said they understood her reasons, with one commenting "Feb 5 bride and I feel this on so many levels."

However, it will soon be impossible for others to follow her example as the state government has announced nightclubs in Victoria are being temporarily shut down as a result of rising Covid figures.

In today's latest UK figures, 142,224 tested positive for the disease.
