Sam Faiers and her sister Billie Shepherd revealed their mother was hospitalised when a water infection developed into sepsis.
Sam, 31, and Billie, 32, explained that Suzie, 53, started feeling unwell last week and she started deteriorating 'massively'.
Our mum wasn’t very well. It started last week, she had a water infection and it got worse and worse which resulted in going into mum’s kidneys," they said on The Sam & Billie Show.
"So we took her to A+E because she massively deteriorated.
"She had antibiotics and it wasn’t working. I managed to speak to a doctor and I told him all of her symptoms so he told me to take her to A+E because she needs medical attention. Basically the water infection had got so bad that it turned into sepsis."
Their mother was feeling 'so poorly' and was 'feverish, being sick, weak' and had 'pains in her back and was delirious'.
"As her daughters, we had to make the decision," Sam continued. "We couldn’t even have another night at home. She needed to go in."
Suzie is now back home and has 'recovered so well'.
"Mum was in the hospital for about 15 hours in total and they flushed her system through. She’s on the mend which is really good," they said.
Just last month, Sam opened up about the 'painful' struggles following the birth of her baby boy Edward back in May.
The former TOWIE star was left with a sore back and tension in her neck and shoulders after looking after her youngest child.

She has since enlisted the help of a sports therapist to try and relieve the pain.
In a recent episode of the Sam and Billie Show podcast, the mum-of-three said she had a massage which she described as far from relaxing.
Speaking to her sister Billie, Sam said: "Paul uses this sports therapist and he’s amazing. It’s like my first one since having the baby and my back’s been really hurting me and all of my shoulders and my neck with the tension.
"It’s definitely just the way I’m sleeping, feeding, holding the baby. Just all of it.”
Sam said Edward is "really heavy", which hasn't been helping with the pain.
"It was getting to the point where in the night and just throughout the day, it was actually really painful. And I don’t want to take painkillers, so I was like maybe I need to have some massages.
"I can’t say that it was relaxing, it was so painful, but I needed it."
