'Jack was freaking out when it happened, but we have reassured him and I think that's what is important is to reassure the children.'
Kylie said of her son's symptoms: 'Jack had a mild fever yesterday for maybe an hour and he had, like, growing pains and that's all he's had.'

She also spoke about her decision not to isolate away from Jonathan and Jack during their recovery.
'When it comes to our living arrangements, we are not isolated from the 'rony boys. The kids are all sleeping in the same bed together, and I'm not sleeping in the bed with JB 'cause he has been sweating it out and he's a bit smelly,' she said.
'We're just sharing everything and going on [with] life as normal and trying to keep as calm as possible,' she added.

Jonathan tested positive for Covid after he began feeling ill during a round of golf with his radio co-host Sam Pang last Thursday.
The 40-year-old confirmed he had been diagnosed with the respiratory virus on his Nova 100 breakfast show Chrissie, Sam & Browny on Monday morning.
'I'm going to lift the curtain here. On Thursday afternoon, I said to Sam [Pang], I was playing golf with him and I leant on him and said, 'I think this is the end.'

'Pang will be my witness. I said to him in the car park Thursday night, I said, "I'm feeling a bit crook, I'm not right."
'I went home and I mentioned to my wife, Kylie, because I was due to go out for dinner that night.
'I said, "I don't think I'm going to be able to go for dinner," and she said, "Why don't you have a rapid test?" because she had been a little bit crook for a couple of days.
No dice: While they still live together, Kylie said she was refusing to sleep in the same bed as her husband because he had been 'sweating it out' and was 'a bit smelly'
'Then it came up positive and I rang Pangy and rang our work, Nova, and said I came up positive pretty quick. I think we probably need to put something in place where everyone get tested. So I did the right thing.'
Both Nova and stablemate Smooth FM were shut down for deep cleaning after the Melbourne station's program director Peter Clay told the on-air talent to get tested on Thursday night.
A network spokesperson said: 'We take the health, safety and privacy of all our staff very seriously.
'We will continue to abide by and follow all current state government health advice and directions to maintain a safe workplace for all our employees.'
