Suki Waterhouse has revealed she suffered a hernia because her pants were 'so tight'.
The 33-year-old singer and actress took to social media with the health news after fans requested she post more messages on X.
In response the My Fun hitmaker revealed she was hospitalised six months ago following a clothing faux pas she had been 'too scared' to tell her 165,000 followers.
Suki wrote on X: ''suki you never tweet anymore' have you ever considered I wore pants so tight 6 months ago it caused a hernia and I've been too scared to tell you (sic).'
The Daisy Jones and the Six star followed her post up with a picture of her in a hospital bed, showing her wearing a gown with a vape balanced on her chest.
While some thought the vape was an odd choice of accessory for a hospital, others struck up conversation with the star.
Fan @shortnskeetz commented: 'hey I gave my dad a hernia once x (sic).'
Suki responded: 'well done!!'
And the shocked supporter clarified: 'oh um hi xx i didnt give it to him intentionally btw I was like 7.'
Suki's medical update comes just over a year after she gave birth to her first child with her fiance Robert Pattinson.
As per the NHS, a hernia occurs when an internal part of the body pushes through a weakness in the muscle or surrounding tissue wall.
A hernia usually develops between your chest and hips. In many cases, it causes no or very few symptoms, although you may notice a swelling or lump in your tummy (abdomen) or groin.
The lump can often be pushed back in or disappears when you lie down. Coughing or straining may make the lump appear.
Once a diagnosis has been confirmed, a GP or hospital doctor will determine whether surgery to repair the hernia is necessary.
A month later, the star confirmed she had given birth, sharing a polaroid in which she cradled the baby, positioned so her hand covered the child's face.
She wrote: 'welcome to the world angel [heart emoji] (sic)'
Suki later confirmed she had welcomed a baby girl, and said she felt 'very lucky' to have an 'amazing little lady' in her life.
Speaking live on stage during her Coachella set last year, she said: 'I don't know if some of you know, but I had some big life changes happen recently, some pretty big events have been going down.
'I love amazing ladies and I've been very lucky to have my own little amazing lady and meet the love of my life.'
The couple, who were first linked in 2018, are yet to reveal their little one's name.
In a British Vogue cover star interview last year, Suki revealed she and Robert met at a Hollywood games night also attended by the likes of Al Pacino, in which they played Traitors-esque party game Werewolf. More Trending
'I think we both sort of have the same slight uncomfortable-ness,' revealed Suki, explaining how they bonded over giggling during the game, so they got told off and had to be separated.
After half a year they bumped into each other again and she remembered thinking Robert was 'quite funny' and that she 'lights up' around him.
Suki said her song Memoir from her album Memoir of a Sparklemuffin – out on 13 September – is about getting what she always wanted in her family and finding the one.
'This love and having a family and having a little world,' she said. 'Whatever happens, this is my dream.'
