Kerry Katona seriously ill
Thursday, 27 March 2008
Kerry Katona has been rushed to hospital over fears she has a life-threatening illness.
The reality TV star - who is pregnant with her fourth child - is being tested for suspected pre-eclampsia, which can potentially kill both mother and baby, after suffering pains at her Cheshire home on Monday morning (24.03.08).
Her spokesman Max Clifford said: "It is a very worrying time but she is in the safest place for her and her baby.
"If it turns out to be pre-eclampsia then it can be a very serious condition, she'll need urgent medical attention."
Pre-eclampsia is a combination of high blood pressure, swelling and rapid weight gain due to fluid retention.
Kerry - who recently completed a stint in rehab for depression - had been complaining of swelling in her legs and ankles for weeks but it started getting much worse.
Her second husband Mark Croft is keeping a bedside vigil.
Filming of Kerry's MTV show, 'Kerry Katona: Crazy In Love', has been halted while she's in hospital.
