Vicky Pattison has been rushed to A&E, telling fans she had 'ignored the warning signs' and was now 'unable to move.'
The former Geordie shore star shared snaps of her sobbing in a hospital bed with her arm hooked up to a drip. Vicky said upset was the 'wake up call she needed.'
She was supported at her bedside by fiancé Ercan Ramadan, 30, who she is set to marry in a couple of weeks.
The star said she'd become increasingly unwell this week but after failing to get an emergency appointment she battled on - to her detriment. After days of suffering with a sore throat, fever and joint ache, Vicky was eventually rushed to A&E.
Breaking her silence on a traumatic few days, Vicky said she would be in hospital for 'some time' and blamed herself for ignoring her symptons.

Vicky penned: "Definitely not the weekend I was intending on having.. I was anticipating being up mount Snowdon for gods sake. Don't even know really to start, but I feel like I dropped that stupid story to let a few people who were concerned about my radio silence know I was being looked after & then loads more people just worried, which was never my intention, you're all too kind btw," she told her Instagram fans.
Vicky then said she was feeling better than she had been before launching into the 'chaotic' events that led to her being admitted to hospital.

Vicky said she's 'punished' her bodyShe said: "I woke up on Thursday with a terrible headache, I ignored it & assumed it was because I'd had super long day the day before- anyway it persisted & became a sore throat, razor blade vibes & I got the fever, aches, pains, sore joints etc'. I tried to get to an emergency doctors appointment but we got stuff in a terrible accident- a journey that should have take an hour took 6 & even though the Dr did his best on the phone he had no real way of knowing what was best.
"Fast forward 24hours & I had started to be sick which was just making everything worse- my throat was so swollen I couldn't swallow, drink water & pain killers were completely out of the question, it was getting to the point where I physically couldn't move.
Vicky went on: "Starting to feel scared, I made another emergency app with my doctor & was referred straight to A&E. after around 36 hours, about 6 bags of fluid, 3 of antibiotics & an untold amount of pain relief we're starting to get to the bottom of things."
Vicky looked exhausted following her ordeal
Her fiance was seen at her bedside"They think it's glandular fever, an big infection & an abscess in my throat. I didn't allow myself any recovery time after covid & it's just compromised my immune system I suppose- I haven't allowed myself any downtime this year," she admitted.
"I have burn the candle at both ends, worked a punishing schedule & ignored all signs that my body was desperate for a break; feeling drained, overwhelmed, can't sleep at night for anxiety exhausted in the morning, loss of appetite, not prioritising my exercise- I haven't done anything since the half marathon in April which is so unlike me'.
"This has been the wake up call I needed but I'm angry with myself I let it go this far- I'll be in hospital for awhile & I think it's for the best."
