Lottie Tomlinson shares health update after being rushed to hospital for emergency surgery in Abu Dhabi
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.
And in the latest update, Lottie took to her Instagram Stories on Thursday evening and revealed that she has been discharged from the hospital.
Posting a photo from the back of a cab while holding hands with partner Lewis, she wrote: 'Out of hospital and on the way to the hotel to rest. Thank you all so much for the kind messages.'
She later shared a heartwarming image of Lewis with their two children in the pool, adding: 'Back where I belong. You make everything better.'
Just the day earlier, Lottie informed her follower that she 'didn't expect to start our trip like this.'
'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.'

Royal Opera's kowtowing to Israel haters is an act of self-harm
When Sir Keir Starmer said he would recognise a Palestinian state next month if Israel did not withdraw from Gaza, there was a swift response from Hamas. Ghazi Hamad, its spokesman in Qatar, said that British recognition would be 'one of the fruits of October 7' – the day Hamas massacred 1,100 Israelis. The terrorists are officially obliged to Sir Keir. Next in line to receive a Hamas ovation will be Sir Alex Beard, chief executive of the Royal Ballet and Opera, who on Monday cancelled next year's Tosca production with Israeli Opera, saying he was 'appalled by the crisis in Gaza and recognises the deep emotional impact this has had across our community'. Beard, 61, is an arts lifer who worked at the Arts Council for seven years, the Tate for 19 years before Covent Garden. His world view is formed by right-on arts think. Beard's Gaza intervention was provoked by an incident last month when an extra in Il Trovatore waved a large Palestine flag during curtain calls. The Royal Opera director Oliver Mears dashed out from the wings and made an attempt to wrest the flag away, only to be bundled aside by Daniel Perry, a self-styled 'queer dance artist, choreographer/movement director, and DJ'. Mears was heard shouting at the burly Perry that he would never work at the Royal Opera House again. That eruption provoked a protest this weekend from 182 staff members – musicians, dancers and technicians and administrators, all courageously anonymous – demanding that Covent Garden change its stance on Israel-Palestine. 'Our organisation has chosen to actively support the Israeli state and its economy by hiring our production ... to the Israeli Opera,' they cried. '(It is) a deliberate alignment, materially and symbolically, with a government currently engaged in crimes against humanity.' Never mind that the opera company in Tel Aviv is no more an arm of government than the one in London, or that the economic benefits of a co-production to either side are minuscule. This had nothing to do with practical politics. It was pure virtue signalling, unworthy of a response. Guess what? On Monday morning Alex Beard caved in. His capitulation was reminiscent of the 1990s, when Covent Garden stumbled to the brink of insolvency amid chaotic changes of leadership and a clique of in-house agitators led by a box-office clerk. Chronicling those events in my book Covent Garden: The Untold Story, I learnt a lot about the self-entitlement of underlings who land a job for life in the arts. It took years to remove the disruptors and restore stability. Now it seems that ancient insurgency has coalesced once more around the flag of Palestine and the straggly Beard's ineptitude to take the temperature of the house and the world at large. With a timing matched only by England's lower-order batsmen, Beard's sanction on Israeli Opera came within hours of 2,400 Israeli artists demanding their prime minister stop the war. The two leading signatories of that petition were Dan Ettinger, music director of Israeli Opera, and its artistic director Zach Granit. Beard's decision was a slap in the face for the only stop-the-war campaign that has a hope in the Gaza hell of making any difference on the ground. Israeli artists, lawyers, intellectuals, stagehands and retired generals oppose the continuation of this dreadful war with every fibre of their being. So do most Jewish friends of Israel. The nightly images of Gaza laid waste would move a stone to tears. So would the video of an emaciated Israeli hostage being forced to dig his own grave in a Gaza tunnel. That video was issued on the very day that Beard issued his tone-deaf Israel boycott. How hapless is that? There will be consequences for Covent Garden. The Royal Ballet and Opera would not exist today without the multi-million donations and indefatigable fundraising of Dame Vivien Duffield, a supporter of Israel. Dame Vivien could not be reached this week for comment but friends do not expect her to be pleased. Nor will many others on whom Covent Garden depends for bequests. The re-invitation of Russian soprano Anna Netrebko, a former Putin trophy, is a further misreading of what Beard laughably calls 'geopolitics'. This is an opera house that has lost all sense of global direction, coat-tailing a prime minister who has lost his moral compass.

Zara McDermott kisses boyfriend Louis Tomlinson for 'hard launch' Instagram post
officially 'hard launched' her relationship with Louis Tomlinson as the pair packed on the PDA for her latest Instagram snap on Monday night. The former Love Island star hit headlines when she was linked to the One Direction superstar earlier this year after they were spotted on a secret date. And now, Zara seemed to confirm that things are certainly serious as she sent fans wild with a snap of the pair locking lips for a very cheeky selfie. Zara captioned the post with a simple red love heart emoji. Zara and Louis went Instagram official in June, five months after they began dating as they enjoyed Glastonbury festival with their pals. At the festival the couple were spotted packing on the PDA in a TikTok video as Louis wrapped his arms around Zara who flopped her head onto his shoulder, while enjoying the music. However whilst they have been seen together out and about, there had been no public displays of affection on their social media until now. Fans went wild after seeing post as they wrote: 'LOVE YOU GUYS'; 'Favorite couple'; 'Love seeing you glowing and happy'; 'This is the cutest post ever' However, the pair's relationship hasn't come without its challenges after Louis and Zara's ex Sam Thompson came face-to-face for the first time at Soccer Aid in June. Zara and the former Made In Chelsea star split in December after five years together, with Zara moving out of the pair's home. A seemingly awkward interaction ensued when the two men met, with Louis reportedly blanking Sam following the match at Old Trafford despite holding 'peace talks' at the team hotel earlier. Zara was nowhere to be seen at the event but she later admitted that the reaction to her love life has been 'frustrating'. Zara told The Sun: 'The only thing in my life worth writing about is the work I do.' The star also revealed that, despite still posting glamorous snaps to Instagram, she no longer spends much time on social media and is more grounded in her 'relationships'. She added: 'I don't care about social media as much as I used to, or about the aesthetic or the image, I value so much real relationships and real support around me, and being that to other people. 'I'm a totally different person to the one I was when I was 21 years old and stepped into what appeared to be a glitzy world of showbiz, my day to day life is not at all glitz and glamour.'

Jessie J is targeted after revealing her 'heartbreak' over footage of Hamas hostage 'digging his own grave'
Jessie J faced online abuse after she told of her horror at footage of an Israeli hostage captured by Hamas. The British singer described images of emaciated Evyatar David, 24, as 'heartbreaking' as he was forced to dig what appeared to be his own grave. Posting to her 14 million Instagram followers, Jessie J – who was recently rushed to hospital with an infection weeks after breast cancer surgery – wrote: 'I just cannot bear the evil in this world. Please, God, make the suffering end.' She also included a quote from a pro-Israel activist that read: 'I thought images of starved Jews digging their own graves would forever be confined to history books. 'To see the past become present is a horror. Never Again. Again.' But the 37-year-old singer's post was quickly met with a torrent of online abuse. One troll described the pop star as a 'disgusting Zionist' while another branded her a 'terrorist and baby killer supporter'. Another claimed she was trying to keep her 'Zio bosses happy'. Mr David, who was abducted by Hamas during the October 7, 2023, massacre at the Nova music festival, has been held in Gaza for 668 days. On Saturday, the terror group released videos showing him visibly emaciated along with another hostage Rom Braslavski, 22. In the video, Mr David said: 'I have no idea if there will be food. I haven't eaten for several consecutive days and I've been in a very, very difficult state for a very long time. Already several months.' A chart he holds up appears to log his meals in captivity, with several days marked 'no food'. Over the weekend, the star, whose real name is Jessica Cornish, posted on social media that she'd been taken to hospital with an infection and accumulation of fluid in her lungs following surgery six weeks earlier. The singer, who has a two-year-old son, said she was back on the same ward she had been on previously over fears she had symptoms that 'pointed to a blood clot on the lung'. She added: 'They ran a lot of tests which ended up showing I have an infection with a little fluid on my lungs. Finding it hard to breathe in.'
