Emmerdale star Hayley Tamaddon diagnosed with meningitis after terrifying list of symptoms

Former Emmerdale star Hayley Tamaddon has announced she has been diagnosed with meningitis after worrying fans with a hospital snap at the weekend.

The 45-year-old, who is known for her role as Delilah Dingle in the ITV soap, shared a picture of herself on an IV drip on Tuesday (August 30), while lying in a hospital bed on her Instagram stories over the weekend. The mum-of-one captioned the post: "Not the greatest of weekends."

Hayley previously told fans she was suffering from long Covid symptoms after contracting the disease earlier this year. The actress said she now feels very "rundown", had a permanent headache, ringing in her ears and no energy.
