Reality television star Tanya Bardsley, a beloved mainstay on ITVBe's The Real Housewives of Cheshire, has been admitted to hospital following a sudden and severe medical emergency. The 42-year-old shared the alarming news directly from her hospital bed, sending waves of concern through her fanbase.
In a series of candid Instagram Stories, a visibly distressed Bardsley revealed she was suffering from a violent allergic reaction. The star documented her plight, showing followers the alarming swelling that had taken over her face and body.
A Frightening Ordeal from Home to Hospital
The medical crisis appears to have begun at her home before escalating rapidly. Bardsley posted an initial video showing her face already significantly swollen, captioning it with a desperate plea: "What shall I do? My face is so swollen and I feel so ill. Allergic reaction to something."
The situation quickly worsened, necessitating an urgent trip to the hospital. From her ward, she posted a follow-up video, her speech slightly affected by the swelling. "So I've been rushed to hospital. I've had an allergic reaction to something. I don't know, my eyes are nearly shut, my lips are massive, my throat's swollen."
Fans and Co-Stars Rally with Support
The news prompted an immediate outpouring of support and well-wishes from her hundreds of thousands of followers and fellow Housewives co-stars. Messages flooded her comments, urging her to "get well soon" and expressing concern for her well-being.
This incident marks another challenging chapter in Bardsley's well-documented health journey. The mother-of-four has been open with her followers about her previous struggles, including her diagnosis with autism and ADHD in recent years, and has spoken bravely about her battles with mental health.
Her husband, former professional footballer Phil Bardsley, has been a steadfast source of support throughout her public struggles. The couple, who tied the knot in 2010, share four children together.
