“I was admitted to hospital a couple of days ago with sepsis, but I want to reassure you all that I’m in the right place and receiving the best care and treatment to get things under control. I just need a little time to rest and recover, but I will be absolutely fine.”
She went on to say: “I’m so disappointed to miss what was meant to be my first live show back, but I’m sure you’ll all have a fantastic night with Nathan as always. I can’t wait to see you all very soon.
“Thank you for all your continued support and understanding – it truly means the world. Looks like my New Year is starting in March instead.”
In the summer, she shared her diagnosis with her incurable disease.
“After what has been an incredibly scary and very difficult couple of weeks in hospital having multiple CT scans, MRIs, X-rays, blood tests, lumbar punctures and every kind of test you could imagine, I have just been diagnosed with Functional Neurological Disorder (FND),” she explained.
“The specific cause for FND is unknown but one of the main triggers is stress, trauma & anxiety. And while there is no cure, it is treatable providing you adapt your life as much as possible to manage it.”
She went on to say: “I guess the stress and trauma of this last year and everything we’ve went through has finally caught up with me and my body and it’s now decided to make me physically stop, process and heal from everything properly.
“So that’s my plan, as you can see I’ve a good bit to go on the healing front, going from walking in to hospital with a very bad headache & severe facial pain, to losing function in both legs and then trying to walk again using a zimmer frame. It’s quite a lot to wrap your head around. So I need to drastically adapt things in my life right now and for the future to reduce the severity of the symptoms in any future flare ups. But rest assured, I will be cared for like a queen every single day until I fully recover from this episode.”
