Kerry Katona Hospitalised with Ulcerative Colitis Diagnosis

Kerry Katona has revealed she was rushed to hospital and is being treated in a corridor due to the facility being full. The former Atomic Kitten star, 45, shared a video on Instagram Stories from her hospital bed near the nurses' station, showing an intravenous cannula in her arm.

In the video, she said: 'Hi guys it's 2.10 in the morning and I have been in hospital since yesterday - yesterday morning.' She added: 'It's very full so unfortunately, I'm on a bed in the hall. I have something called colitis - something to do with my bowel. So it's been s**t - excuse the pun. I haven't slept since yesterday, the day before. I'm in the right place.'

According to the NHS, ulcerative colitis is a long-term condition where the colon and rectum become inflamed, causing symptoms such as frequent bowel movements, tummy pain, and recurring diarrhoea. Katona also previously revealed she developed alopecia following her split from fiancé Ryan Mahoney last year.

Katona wrote in her new! magazine column: 'There's no rush for a ring, or a baby. I'm just enjoying everything for what it is.'
