Rebecca Adlington returns home from hospital on wedding anniversary after miscarriage

Rebecca Adlington hugged her children as she returned home from hospital after suffering a devastating miscarriage.

The Olympian, 33, announced earlier this week she was in hospital having developed sepsis and a kidney infection after undergoing a dilation and curettage operation.

Taking to Instagram on Sunday, Rebecca paid tribute to her husband Andy Parsons as she marked their one-year wedding anniversary on the day she was dismissed from hospital.

She wrote: "Happy anniversary @andrewparsons5. You are the love of my life, my everything.

"I know I can get through anything with you by my side. You are simply the best."

I'm A Celeb star Rebecca, who is mum to Summer and Albie, underwent emergency surgery after doctors found she had lost her baby during her 12 week scan.

She suffered a further blow as she developed sepsis and a kidney infection along with a fever shortly after the operation.

Rebecca explained: "On Tuesday me and Andy went to hospital for our 12 week scan only to discover we’ve had a miscarriage which resulted in emergency surgery.

"I managed to leave hospital Thursday only to be readmitted Friday. After a day of treating sepsis, a kidney infection and a fever I’m slowly on the mend. Long way to go but I’m in the right place."

The athlete then shared her gratitude to medical staff as she added: "I can’t thank the hospitals and the staff enough, been so supportive.

"It’s such a devastating time but important in times like these we remember we aren’t alone and have so much support."

Rebecca penned: "@andrewparsons5 you have been my rock this week. Same with family and friends. We haven’t managed to process it all yet but I know with their support we’ll get through it.

"Once I’m able to leave hospital I’m extremely grateful I get to go home and give my 2 little ones the best hugs!"

The I'm A Celebrity star welcomed her second child, a baby boy called Albie Bennett, in March last year.

She is also a proud mum to her daughter Summer, seven, who she shares with her ex-husband Harry Needs.

Shortly after welcoming their son Albie in September, Rebecca and Andy tied the knot in a sweet ceremony surrounded by the swimmer's fellow Olympian pals.
