I remembered reading this earlier.
Are people getting private tests?
Yes. They are being offered at nearly £400 a time. Celebrities such as Idris Elba and some footballers appear to have paid for them. PHE says it has not validated and approved any private tests, and there may be some that are bogus. However, Vallance has also said the government was looking at all possible providers of an antibody test for the NHS, including the private sector.Testing for coronavirus: what is being done in the UK?

Sorry I don't have a better source.
Much wrong about a private company profiteering of people anxiety.
Hope shes okay, sorry.
