Test to release Covid scheme - how long?

[UTH]

My fiancé's sister has been staying with us since she landed from NZ. She just went for her test to release test this morning at Heathrow airport, does anyone have any idea how long it should take until she hears back from the test?
It's my fiancé's hen do this weekend so she's hoping she is allowed to stop quarantine today so they can head off.....is it likely she'll get the go ahead today or will it take longer?

Mine was about 24hours. I've heard that it can be as quick as 12 hours depending on test place.

Hmmmmm, so I'm probably being TOO optimistic to think it'll be by 5pm this evening

It does sound very optimistic. Can she call them?

Not sure. Not sure I can start suggesting things without looking too keen to get them out of the house. LOL
