Wishing you all a healthy happy peaceful Christmas and New Year. Love and light Olivia x

The 70-year-old - who is married to to natural health entrepreneur John Easterling - says she takes the drug every morning, and at regular intervals throughout the day.

'My husband hands me all these herbs every morning and makes me a green algae drink,' she added. 'He grows the plants and makes them into liquid for me. I take drops maybe four to five times a day.'

The Grease star was recently forced to rubbish rumours she had had weeks to live.

A smiley Olivia appeared in a video posted online wishing her fans and followers a happy 2019, before addressing the reports on her health.
