FIRST Dates star Cici Coleman revealed she’s hooked up to a drip and being treated in a medical centre in Bali.
The TV star, who is on a year of self-discovery in South-East Asia, was struck down with ‘Bali belly’.
Speaking from her bed in an Instagram video, she said: “It’s all fun and games until it gets you. Currently laying in the medical centre somewhere in Bali. I’ve got Bali belly, which is a well-known thing here.
“There’s so much bacteria in all the food here, it’s kind of swept me off my feet a little bit. I’m just hydrating on a drip and then hopefully I’ll be back to my normal self.”
Bali belly is a common illness among travellers in the country and is otherwise known as traveller’s diarrhoea.
It’s often picked up early in a trip and symptoms include stomach cramps, diarrhoea, vomiting, aches, and pains.
Fortunately Cici’s treatment appears to have had the desired effect, with Cici following it up by saying: “Thanks for the messages. Feeling much better after the drip. Chillaxing and taking it easy [heart emoji].”
At the turn of the year, Cici, 35, told fans she was looking forward to a “year of growth” and made a list of her goals for the next 12 months.
She wrote: “Working on my tan, working on remembering to pack a bikini, working on having a day off, working on less filters, working on stepping outside of the box, working on letting go, working on lowering expectations, working on acceptance, working on my perception of other peoples perception, working on my calm.
“Looking forward to another year of growth. Bring on 2022, let’s ‘av’ it.”
Cici first made her name on First Dates, which helps singletons on their journey towards finding their dream partner.
She is well loved in the First Dates restaurant and is head waitress on Fred Sirieix’s team.
Cici is no stranger to being on TV however, as she’s also appeared in two short films – Beautiful Girls and Sleep – and starred in Essex Vendetta alongside Danniella Westbrook, Michael McKell, Kris Johnson and Eddie Webber.
