Made in Chelsea's Louise Thompson rushed to hospital after haemorrhaging at home

Louise Thompson was rushed to hospital after she haemorrhaged at home, her fiancé Ryan Libbey has revealed.

The Made in Chelsea star, 32, told fans last week she had to return to hospital after an "unexpected health situation", but did not go into detail.

Last night Ryan, who shares son Leo-Hunter, one, with Louise, gave fans an update on the scary incidendent on his Instagram Story.

Writing on a black background, Ryan said: "Last Friday it got flipped on his head again. Louise haemorrhaged at home, again. Rushed to hospital for surgery and close monitoring for four days.

"Louise is home now, stable and doing well. She's a warrior!"

Ryan, 32, revealed their had been further setbacks for their family of three as they'd had to cancel a two week holiday to St Lucia and their son had fallen ill.

"Leo has picked up impetigo from nursery. Dad is tired."

"We were supposed to be landing in St Lucia about now for a two-week break. I'll be back online soon," he added.

Reality TV star Louise has been beset by a number of health issues since giving birth in December 2021.

She spent a month in intensive care after her son was born, having suffered a near-death birthing experience which left her with Post Traumatic Stress Disorder.

Last year she told fans she had been diagnosed with Lupus, leaving her tired and with "intolerable heart pain."

Yesterday, Louise spoke about how she keeps herself feeling better and connected to reality during her stays in hospital.

Sharing photos from her hospital bed, she wrote: "What a whirlwind. Here are some things that have kept me feeling better... and by better I mean more connected to reality.

"When I was last in hospital for an extended period (felt like an eternity) I really detached from reality and couldn't even turn on a phone or concentrate on anything for longer than a minute. I've learnt a lot from that experience.

"TRY TO STAY CONNECTED AND CONTINUE AS NORMAL. Gosh, last time I even thought eating a chocolate Lindor ball that my brother bought me was going to kill me so I had to spit it out."

She went on: "Talk to whoever you can find. Whether that's nurses (don't be offended if they're at capacity and have to run off), family members over the phone, friends on WhatsApp, strangers on Instagram.

"ANYTHING TO DISTRACT YOUR MIND. It might feel really weird messaging people about such significant life threatening events as if they're daily activities, but for me it has helped normalising (or making logic) of what has happened and talking about it this time around."

Louise continued in the lengthy message to say she "waited until my brain had made sense of what had happened" before opening up on her last hospital stay.

She revealed she broke down in tears at the time after speaking to a man who worked for a charity.

Discussing the moment, she said: "I spoke to a really sweet man with the charity sweetie trolley and he made me cry because he was so nice."
