Katie Piper has revealed that she was rushed to hospital after suffering a bad infection.
The TV presenter, who underwent an operation earlier this year, took to Instagram on Monday to reveal to her 866k followers that she was rushed to hospital over the weekend and admitted that it was because she had ignored symptoms of an infection as she was too busy.
Alongside a photo of her sitting in her hospital bed, the book author wrote: ‘Ignored some symptoms because of being too busy and now I am in hospital with a bad infection!
‘Moral of the story, always listen to your body,’ she continued. ‘I am being looked after by some fantastic NHS nurses and doctors as always.’
Hundreds of fans and friends commented to wish Katie well, including dozens of high-profile faces.
‘Sending so much love your way! Xxx,’ wrote Giovanna Fletcher, followed by Rochelle Humes and Stacey Solomon who both wished the charity campaigner better.
Katie also received messages from her fellow Strictly Come Dancing contestants, including Joe Sugg, Stacey Dooley, Lee Ryan, Dr Ranj Singh and her dancing partner Gorka Marquez.
