Ranvir Singh breaks her silence following hospital dash for 'urgent surgery' as she admits 'I thought it might be cancer'
Ranvir Singh has broken her silence on her 'urgent surgery' earlier this month, admitting that she 'thought it might be cancer'. The 47-year-old had to pull out of hosting Lorraine on May 9 because she had emergency surgery just hours before her shift which was actually down to a ruptured appendix. On Friday's episode of Good Morning Britain, Ranvir and co-host Rob Rinder, 46, spoke to Made In Chelsea 's star Sam Vanderpump about nearly losing his life due to sepsis. The reality star 'nearly died' after liver and kidney failure caused life-threatening sepsis and took to the ITV show to raise awareness and vital signs to look out for. Reflecting on her recent own health scare, Ranvir said: 'My appendix ruptured a few weeks ago. 'The thing that made me call 111 after I'd been writhing around all day straight after work, it was 8 o'clock at night and I thought, "Let's just check it's not bowel cancer" because Lorraine's team had been doing a bowel cancer campaign. From A-list scandals and red carpet mishaps to exclusive pictures and viral moments, subscribe to the DailyMail's new Showbiz newsletter to stay in the loop. 'So raising awareness genuinely works in the moment because when you're in pain, you go, 'what could it be?' 'And so just planting the seed in the mind of someone in 111 can work.' Ranvir took to Instagram earlier this month to explain what had happened to her. Sharing some pictures from her hospital bed, Ranvir told her followers: 'Had a fab time as always hosting @lorraine last Wednesday wearing this gorgeous linen white pinstripe suit, felt a bit drained and foggy in the morning but nothing a couple of coffees couldn't sort out. 'I'm off air - all good - at 1030am I feel this sudden stomach ache. I stay in bed all day. Turns out I had a ruptured appendix and had urgent surgery at midnight on Thursday!' She continued: 'Woke up 5am on Friday morning, high on anaesthetic and certain I could get into work to host the show as normal.. 'Pretty nasty few days, the bacteria had spread and infected my blood etc and told to take this week off by @jadeens. 'I'm sore and shuffling around, can't drive for a week, and no exercise for 4 weeks (!) so really it's the boredom that will kill me! 'Ps. Anyone else have this horrendous shoulder pain afterwards? It's mad isn't it!' Many rushed to the comments section to share the love and send their best wishes. Good Morning Britain star Alex Beresford said: 'Awwww wishing you a speedy recovery xxxx.' Emmerdale star Bradley Riches commented: 'Sending my love xoxoxo.' Another fan wrote: 'Get well soon! Take it easy!' 'Hopefully you feel better very soon big hugs.' Lorraine viewers were surprised to see Andi Peters on Friday's instalment of the ITV show when Ranvir was supposed to be presenting. The 54-year-old took to the sofa in a surprise mystery presenter shake-up. Andi stepped in for Ranvir last minute, telling viewers: 'First thing's first, I've just got to say get well soon to Ranvir who can't be here today... 'Which is why they have drafted in a man in a bright orange shirt just to make sure you are awake this morning! 'Get well soon Ranvir. We send you all of our love.' At the time Andi did not reveal what is wrong with former Strictly star Ranvir.

Made In Chelsea star admits health struggles after sepsis
Made In Chelsea star admits health struggles after sepsis The TV personality and businessman previously revealed he was taken to Chelsea and Westminster Hospital in December 2024 with sepsis, which led to liver and kidney failure caused by flu Sam Vanderpump Made In Chelsea star Sam Vanderpump has said he is dealing with anxiety about his health after a bout of sepsis. The TV personality and businessman previously revealed he was taken to Chelsea and Westminster Hospital in December 2024 with sepsis, which led to liver and kidney failure caused by flu. He lost around 15kg and the experience inspired him to propose in March to model Alice Yaxley, he said. Vanderpump told ITV's Good Morning Britain that when he first went to hospital in December, "they discharged me, and then I got an asthma attack, and they said I had this back pain due to the asthma attack", but the doctors could not figure out his illness. The reality star said he was shopping in London when he started becoming "dehydrated", and the next day it "got so bad, I had crusty lips. I was being delirious... she (my fiancee) went, 'I've got to get you into hospital'". He added that it went "from 24 hours before I was shopping in Selfridges, to 24 hours later, where the doctors were telling me I was going into liver and kidney failure". "I mean, physically, on the outside, I believe I'm back to normality. I lost 15 kilos – around that sort of mark – when I was ill, and I've managed to put on... nearly 10kg," he said. "I think (the) mental terms are very, very hard to deal with, the mental side of post-sepsis and being able to get back into normality, because you look fine on the outside, everyone else's lives go back to normal. "But (you are) dealing with (a) kind of health anxiety." Vanderpump – who has the rare conditions congenital hepatic fibrosis of the liver and polycystic kidney disease, which can lead to kidney failure – also said that knowing the main symptom for him was the high temperature, he became concerned about Yaxley when she was recently ill. "My girlfriend, fiancee, got an infection recently where she's got a high temperature, and I'm rushing her to go see a doctor, because I just want to get her treated," he said. He added that if people are concerned about "normal symptoms like the flu, breathlessness, just a little bit of aches and pains, high temperature" they should see a GP and urge them to consider sepsis. Article continues below Vanderpump has become an ambassador at charity UK Sepsis Trust, which says the condition causes "nearly 80,000 people each year (to) suffer life-changing after-effects in the UK, with 82% of sepsis survivors experiencing post-sepsis syndrome more than a year after hospital discharge, and 18% left permanently unable to work". The reality star, who began on Channel 4 reality show Made In Chelsea last year, runs finance companies in the UK and Dubai and was previously a racing driver. He is the nephew of Lisa Vanderpump, known for The Real Housewives Of Beverly Hills and her own spin-off programmes such as Vanderpump Rules.

Sepsis almost killed me at 27. Then trolls attacked me online
After four days at Chelsea and Westminster Hospital, Sam Vanderpump, the 28-year-old reality star, turned to his doctors and asked: 'Am I out of the woods?' 'No, not by any stretch of the imagination,' they responded. 'In nice words, they were saying: you could still die at any moment,' Vanderpump says. He pauses. 'I was terrified. I didn't know if I'd make it out alive.' By day eight, he'd lost almost two and a half stone, meaning his weight had plummeted from 87kg to 73kg. Vanderpump was battling sepsis, which arises when the body's immune system's response to an infection causes damage to its own tissues and organs. Vanderpump's white blood cell count, which he says should be between 8 and 12, would reach double
