Seriously ill Big Brother star's message to axed Phillip Schofield from hospital bed

Critically ill Big Brother star Lauren Harries shared her support for Phillip Schofield following his exit from This Morning.

Phillip, 61, shocked the public when he announced his immediate departure from the ITV show after 21 years.

The presenter is usually joined on the sofa by close friend and co-host Holly Willoughby, 42, but the two's relationship has been strained in recent months.

Fans and former guests have been reacting to Phil's recent departure and Lauren only recently learned of the news.

Lauren's mother shared an update on the star's recovery from brain surgery and posted Lauren's message to Phil.

She has been in the hospital since April after needing emergency brain surgery.

Using Lauren's Twitter account, her mother has been providing updates on her recovery.

Earlier this week, she tweeted: "Lauren is still in hospital and not kept up with the entertainment news so today I told her that Philip had left @thismorning, she was shocked.

"She always loved her time on the show and wishes both of them luck! I know @hollywills will do an amazing job.

"Lauren wanted to share this picture of her last time on This Morning. Love you all xxx."

Earlier this month, Lauren's worried mum rushed to social media to beg fans for help.

A tweet read: "Please help: Lauren has had a number of blackouts after which the right side of her face droops. This is incredibly scary for Lauren and us. She also has a consistent headache.

"Drs haven't been able to explain what is causing these. Have you or someone you know been through this? Any ideas or help you could give will be so helpful.

"@NHSuk have saved Lauren but they can't find any answers for this and it is so scary when it happens, it happened again yesterday. Please help find out what's causing these!"

During her recovery, Lauren faced a setback as last month she was rushed into intensive care before being moved back to neurology.

It is still not exactly known what kind of condition or medical issue Lauren is suffering from.
