X Factor legend Amelia Lily was forced to pull out of a festival performance today after being rushed to hospital last night.
The singer, who also starred in MTV's Geordie Shore, shared a snap of herself on a ward hooked up to a drip and revealed she has been "severely unwell".
Amelia, who is diabetic, sparked concern with the snap and told fans she was devastated to have to cancel her scheduled gig at Sunderland Food and Drink Festival.
Writing on social media last night, the 29 year-old said: "Hello everyone, after a really tough week of being severely unwell, I have never felt like this in my life.
'I'm absolutely gutted'
"I have been admitted into hospital with an underlying infection. I am so sorry that I won't be able to perform tomorrow evening."

She continued: "I love performing and am absolutely gutted I can't be there tomorrow but I know I'm in the best place."
She then updated her fans last night, telling them fortunately she did not have Diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA), a life-threatening condition where the body breaks down fat too fast and the blood becomes acidic.
And today, Amelia returned to social media to share that she finally had a diagnosis and fortunately had been discharged home to rest.
"I was discharged last last night and am back home," she wrote on her instagram stories, explaining that she had to go back to hospital today for more blood tests but reassured her followers she was "on the mend."
Tests results revealed
She then explained that she was suffering from a kidney infection caused by an untreated urinary tract infection.
"I felt pain in my lower back at the start of the week and tried for three days to get into my drs, but they were not taking any more appointments or econsults."
As a result Amelia explained that she began vomiting and suffering from a migraine and fever.
"Being diabetic things get a little more complicated as you can imagine," she added, revealing that she has had an ultrasound on her kidneys which told medics what was wrong.
She concluded the post by thanking her medical team who "looked after me and gave me the best care."
Amelia shot to fame in 2011 on The X Factor and finished in third place.
