Louise Thompson has now been in hospital for 13 days.
The Made in Chelsea star, 33, ‘doesn’t know’ when she’ll be home, with her fiancé Ryan Libbey keeping concerned fans updated.
Over the weekend, Ryan – with whom Louise welcomed a son in 2021 – thanked his social media followers for their well wishes.
He wrote in an Instagram Story: ‘Louise has been in hospital for 12 days now.
‘We don’t know when she will be ready to come home yet.
‘But thank you to everyone who has sent messages of love and support to our family. It does help.’

Ryan also posted a selfie of him with his son, writing alongside it: ‘We’re missing mummy every day.’
Louise – whose younger brother is I’m A Celebrity 2023 winner Sam Thompson – was recently on holiday, soaking up the sun in Antigua.
She shared a slew of stunning snaps to her feed just last month before going quiet, presumably when things took a turn for the worse.
Louise has spoken candidly about her struggles in recent years.
Before she got pregnant, Louise was diagnosed with ulcerative colitis, which is inflammation of the lower end of your digestive system, including your large bowel and rectum.

She’s also spoken frankly about her mental health in a bid to raise awareness.
Since nearly dying while giving birth to Leo-Hunter three years ago, the reality star has been battling post-traumatic stress disorder and post-natal anxiety.
In January 2022, she admitted that she would cry up to 20 times a week.
Later that year, Louise – who went ‘partially deaf’ during her ordeal – revealed she’d been diagnosed with lupus, holding back tears as she confirmed blood tests had come back positive for the condition.
Throughout 2023, the MIC alum kept her followers in the loop, explaining how she had been receiving care from gynaecology, gastroenterology, rheumatology, psychiatry, psychotherapy, and haematology each month.

Continuing to navigate recovery, Louise said in December, that she felt ‘slightly lost’ during the Christmas period after making herself ‘silly levels of busy’ in the lead-up as a coping mechanism.
In a bid to occupy her mind, Louise revealed at the time that she had felt ‘so tired she could keel over on the kitchen floor’.
The TV personality and influencer added that her focus for 2024 would be to ‘get well’.
She also said ‘pausing’ is a ‘project she needs to sink her teeth into.’
