REALITY star Lateysha Grace was rushed to hospital yesterday after falling seriously ill with pre-eclampsia.
The 29-year-old is currently pregnant with her second child and asked her fans to pray for her unborn baby girl as she remains in hospital.
Sharing a picture from her hospital bed, she wrote: “What’s meant to be the most exciting week for me has turned out to be the worst !
“Honestly if anyone feels like they may have preeclampsia please get it checked out ASAP it’s so dangerous to you and your baby . I don’t know how long I’m going to be in here for but please just pray for my baby
.”
She later thanked her fans for their prayers and well wishes – before adding that she had first visited the doctor two weeks ago with symptoms.
“I wish I was taken more seriously when I went in with swollen feet two weeks ago. I don’t think it would be as severe as it currently is right now,” she revealed.
“And to top of all of this I have covid. I just have to be as strong as I can be for my baby.”
Pre-eclampsia is a condition that affects pregnant women, usually after the 20-week mark or straight after their baby is delivered.
Mild pre-eclampsia affects up to six per cent of pregnancies, while severe cases develop in up to two per cent.
Kim Kardashian famously had pre-eclampsia, which resulted in her using surrogates.
Lateysha rose to fame on MTV show The Valleys, before landing a spot on Celebrity Big Brother.
She is already mum to a daughter called Wynter with her ex Ben Charles. She has kept the identity of her current boyfriend and the father of her unborn child a secret.
In 2018 she landed her own MTV reality show called Million Dollar Baby, in which she tried to launch a modelling career for her daughter to make millions.
In her 2015 autobiography, Lateysha sensationally claimed that boxer Amir Khan begged her to take part in a foursome, offering her $3,000.
And in 2018 The Celeb Report revealed how Lateysha was secretly dating superstar rapper Drake.
