Katherine Jenkins’ ‘little bit of bad news’ about health after hospital trip

In response to “a little bad news,” Kathy Jenkins has opened up about her bittersweet beginning of the new year. The Welsh songstress, who last month performed at a Royal Albert Hall Christmas special, took to Instagram to share her latest health developments.

She wrote last night, “A little bit of bad news and a lot of good news.” “Starting the year off right with a pinky toe break” and a lovely announcement that @Cygnet_gin will collaborate with Penderyn Distillery.

I’m thrilled that our new home, the historic Copperworks Distillery with our friends at Penderyn, embodies the essence of my homeland because of its incredible natural beauty, warmth andamp, passion of our people, and unparalleled care with which we make our products.

An X-ray image of the post that revealed a small fracture in her left foot’s little toe was included. Unknown about the circumstances surrounding the injury.

Despite her positive outlook, this isn’t Katherine’s first health scare. She highlighted the frightful condition she experienced during her second pregnancy five years ago. Initially dismissing her symptoms of itchy skin, the 44-year-old was later diagnosed with ‘ cholestasis’.

A healthy flow of bile acids from the liver to your gut is a condition that could be fatal. She stated in a previous interview with The Sun that, “Eventually, I had a blood test and discovered that my liver wasn’t functioning properly, which can have very serious effects.”

“I had a deep ignorance of the condition, which I believe people should talk about more,” I said. While there is no cure for cholestasis, the condition typically resolves after giving birth, according to the NHS.

According to the health body’s recommendation, “Your doctor will periodically check your condition with regular liver blood tests (LFTs) and bile acid measurements.” Initially, you may be given these tests every week. You may then be given more, or less, frequent tests depending on the results and your symptoms”.

The most common symptom of cholestasis is itching without a rash, typically starting from around 28 weeks of pregnancy, but others may include:

• skin getting darker, and eyes getting whiter.
• Pale poo
• Dark urine
• Itching worsening at night

If you’re experiencing any of these symptoms during pregnancy, it is crucial to contact a doctor or midwife.
