Kerry Katona was rushed to hospital for a medical emergency after falling ill with a previously undiagnosed bowel condition.
The former Atomic Kitten star took to Instagram to update fans on her health, revealing she had spent the night at her local hospital – where she was diagnosed with colitis, a painful inflammation of the inner lining of the colon.
A visibly upset Katona, 45, confirmed the diagnosis and told supporters she had been forced to sleep at once due to overcrowding.
She said: ‘Hey guys, it’s 2.10 in the morning and I’ve been in hospital since yesterday – yesterday morning. It is very full, so unfortunately I am lying on a bed in the hallway.
‘I have something called colitis – something to do with my gut. So it’s been s**t – pardon the pun. I haven’t slept since yesterday, the day before. I’m in the right place.’
A long-term condition, Colitis typically manifests itself through cramps, severe abdominal pain and chronic diarrhea, sometimes discharged with blood, pus or mucus.
This comes after Kerry’s best friend Katie Price married entrepreneur Lee Andrews for the fourth time in an intimate ceremony at the weekend, just days after getting engaged.
It is now claimed that Katie’s family are deeply concerned about the speed of the relationship and are preparing to sit her down for a ‘serious talk’ about her marriage.
