Gaz Beadle's wife Emma McVey has been rushed to hospital after returning from a family holiday.
The mum, who shares two children with the Geordie Shore star, said she required urgent medical attention as soon as she returned to the UK.
Emma, Gaz and their two young children had been enjoying a dream holiday in Corfu before Emma took ill.
Following a week of sun-soaked bikini snaps and sweet family photos, Emma returned to Instagram with a very different post.
Sharing a photo of herself looking exhausted in a hospital bed, Emma wrote: "Did not see myself back in here anytime soon but here I am.
"So glad we got back to the uk when we did, so glad I was admitted into hospital when I was."
The mum did not give any further updates on what had caused her sudden illness.
Emma has been open with her health struggles, revealing last year she was suffering with symptoms of ulcerative colitis, an inflammatory bowel disease (IBD).
Colitis is a condition which causes the colon to become inflamed – with Emma being left sapped of energy and barely able to stand before she was successfully diagnosed.
Emma was also diagnosed with three large holes in her heart just weeks before she and Gary tied-the-knot in 2021.
Speaking about her frightening health conditions, Emma told Fabulous magazine: “The past year has been a whirlwind. I’m still trying to get my head around this latest health issue. Two weeks ago, I had another flare-up — I lose a lot of blood and feel really tired — so I’ve recently had my medication doubled and steroids reintroduced.
“I did lose a lot of confidence. One health issue after another gets you down and I was so thin, my face looked gaunt, which made me feel insecure.”
The influencer says she wants to raise awareness of colitis as it is a condition that some sufferers feel self-conscious about.
She explained: “Colitis is an awkward topic. Some people end up having surgery and stoma bags fitted to drain waste. I get messages from people saying they’ve done it and never looked back, so I’ll judge where I am in a couple of years.
"It’s common for sufferers to end up depressed, because living with a long-term condition like colitis can take a considerable toll on your mental wellbeing, and the stigma means people often don’t feel comfortable speaking out. I don’t want to hide and pretend this isn’t happening.”
Later in her Fabulous interview, Emma opens up about the surgery she requires to fix three holes that were discovered in her heart.
She had complained to doctors about experiencing seizures and fainting – prompting medics to believe she suffered from epilepsy.
However, once she became pregnant with her daughter, these symptoms became worse and she started to pass out even more often.
Doctors attached a heart monitor to her and it was discovered that there were holes in her heart – and the medical experts were shocked she had survived undergoing a c-section when her daughter arrived.
