Gemma Collins, the former The Only Way Is Essex star, has shared a health update despite having battled the virus for almost a month. She is adamant about sticking to her work obligations.
Gemma Collins has said that she feels like she’s ‘dying’ as her vital Pneumonia battle enters its fourth week. The former TOWIE star, 44, was struck down with the debilitating illness almost a month ago and has been struggling to breathe since.
On Wednesday, a bedridden Gemma took to Instagram to share an update about her health, revealing that she had been seriously unwell for a number of weeks. In her post, which included a photo of the reality TV star laying in bed, she wrote: “Hey guys sorry been quiet i have Pneumonia. I’m not as fast or on it as I usually am on the daily. I am still honouring my work commitments which is taking every bit of energy I have but will be back entertaining you all soon.”
Gemma also disclosed a second update to her Instagram Story that claimed she had been seen and being treated via a drip. The much-loved TV star was diagnosed with pneumonia, an infection-like pulmonary inflammation that is typically present in people. Infants, the elderly, and those with heart or lung conditions are at a higher risk of severe illness and may need hospitalization, compared to the majority of recoveries in two to four weeks.
Luckily, Gemma has not had to go to hospital, but speaking to The Mirror, she admitted that she feels as though ‘she’s dying’. “Because the Pneumonia is viral, no antibiotic is going to help me. I’ve been really short of breath and obviously I have work commitments that I would never not turn up to. I’m old-school, I would always fulfill my work commitments.
I’ve had it for more than three weeks and my doctor prescribed steroids to me. “It’s shocking. I had to take them to DJ Fat Tony’s wedding to get past that, but now that I’m off, the sickness is returning. I normally have a lot of energy and I’m always enjoying life, but now I’m really tired and feel like I’m dying. “
Gemma’s doctor, thankfully, has now revealed that she will have her final chest scans this weekend, and that she is now through the worst of it. I’m praying that I’ll soon be back on track as soon as the doctor visits my home.
Gemma has tried her best to slow down and recover from her crippling health battle the past month, but she admits that it’s not in her blood to do so. I have two weeks off before I can get a proper rest because I have one more job this weekend and two more weeks to go. But I’m not comfortable with it. I’m just one of those people who must be working at all hours, and I feel so bad about it.
When Gemma announced her health woes earlier this week, fans and famous friends alike rushed to wish her well in the comment section. “You giving us all so much energy and good vibes! Get your rest! Wouldn’t want anything to happen to you,” X Factor legends Jedward told their close pal. EastEnders and Celebrity Big Brother star also shared her love by leaving Gemma a love-heart emoji under her post.
Gemma is putting together an exciting event that she will be hosting alongside Trainline today at King’s Cross station in London despite the fact that her body requires the most of its possible rest. SlayStation, the glam stop of dreams, will be introduced by the GC liaison to help fans get off to a great start on their Big Night Out journey.
