TV personality Narinder Kaur has been hospitalised with a suspected tropical infection after returning from a trip to India and the Maldives. The 53-year-old Jeremy Vine panellist was taken to a specialist hospital for tropical diseases after falling seriously ill.
Kaur praised the NHS for her care, writing on X: 'I can't thank ENOUGH the amazing nurses and Dr's who took swift and amazing care of me... it was a humbling reminder of just HOW important the NHS is in the UK.' She later added that she had given the organisation a 'FIRST CLASS review'.
The former Big Brother star had been on a two-week family trip to India, sharing photos of the Golden Temple and Taj Mahal. However, upon returning to the UK, she experienced extreme chills, intense flu-like symptoms and chronic fatigue, prompting an urgent medical assessment.
Doctors tested for malaria, dengue fever and other serious tropical infections, but the cause of her illness remains unknown. A source told The Sun: 'It all happened very quickly... It’s been frightening, but she’s in expert hands.'
Kaur first rose to fame on Big Brother in 2001 and has since appeared on shows including Good Morning Britain and GB News.
