Lottie Tomlinson has revealed that she was rushed to hospital in Abu Dhabi for emergency surgery.
The influencer, 26, who is one of One Direction star Louis Tomlinson’s sisters, had flown to the country with her fiance Lewis Burton and their children.
But Lottie said she started to feel unwell on the plane there, with stomach pains getting worse before she eventually vomited.
After landing in Au Dhabi, Lottie went to see a doctor and was put on a drip – but when it didn’t help the pain she was sent to hospital where it was discovered she had appendicitis.
Lottie was then rushed for emergency surgery to have her appendix removed and shared a clip explaining the scare from her hospital bed on Instagram on Thursday as she recovered.
‘So I didn’t expect to start our trip like this but I’m just grateful that I’m recovering now,’ she began. ‘I felt quite ill on the way here, on the plane, really bad stomach pains.
‘Then I started throwing up when I got here and long story short I went to the doctor and they put me on a drip – but it wasn’t helping with the pain, the stomach pains.
‘So they sent me to hospital where they discovered that I had appendicitis so I needed surgery straight away, so last night I had surgery to remove my appendix and it all went well, so I’m just now recovering.
‘But I’m so grateful to all the nurses and doctors that have looked after me and I’m hoping that I can make a quick recovery.’
She captioned the clip: ‘Thank you to all the lovely doctors and nurses here in Abu Dhabi.’
Lottie also shared a snap of Lewis sitting by her ward with their two-year-old son Lucky as they kept her company. The couple also welcomed their second child, a daughter called Flossie, in January.
‘Hopefully I can make a speedy recovery and enjoy our last few days here,’ she captioned the snap of Lewis and Lucky.
It comes after last month Lottie admitted her cosmetic procedures became a ‘never-ending cycle’ as she candidly opened up about using filler and having beauty treatments.
The influencer has had her lip and cheek filler dissolved and previously said she noticed the cosmetic procedures had ‘got out of control’.
But in May Lottie revealed that she first turned to cosmetic treatments after ‘losing her confidence’ after her mum Johannah Deakin’s death in 2016 at the age of 43.
She said she believes her mum ‘sugarcoated’ her diagnosis and she never realised ‘how bad’ she was until near the end.
Speaking to Giovanna Fletcher on her Happy Mum Happy Baby podcast, she revealed that becoming a mother herself has changed the way she views herself and given her her confidence back.
Lottie said: ‘I felt like it was making me happy, you know? Losing the weight and feeling slimmer definitely made me feel better in myself.
‘But in terms of the fillers and the beauty treatments, it was just a never-ending thing of trying to catch up with yourself.
‘And, like, when you lose someone as close as your mum, it affects your confidence a lot.
‘That’s something I never expected, because if you think about it, your mum is the one person that cheers you on, that loves you unconditionally, that’s there to give you that, you know, reassurance and support.
‘So when you lose that, you kind of lose that, you know, confidence in yourself.
‘So I think I was constantly chasing, trying to find that confidence, thinking I would find it in these, you know, fillers and how I looked.’
