Vanessa Feltz took to social media to reveal that she was rushed to hospital after being ‘doubled over in agony.’

Vanessa, 62, shared a video from her hospital bed as she explained that she was suffering from a ‘big kidney stone’ that had to be surgically removed.

‘Gosh! Hello from hospital. 2pm I was fine. Had just made lunch and was playing with AJ 5 and Cecily nearly two.

‘3pm I was doubled over in agony. Scan showed big kidney stone. OMG! Astoundingly painful. Rushed into theatre.’

She then thanked the hospital workers who aided her in her moment of need: ‘Very grateful thanks to my daughters nurses porters anaesthetist and wonderful surgeon. Thank you so much.’

In the video, Vanessa explained that she was enjoying her Sunday afternoon when she ‘went from completely normal to doubled over.’

She explained that she had to cancel a show on LBC and said the pain was more painful than her two natural childbirths.

She revealed the kidney stone was 5mm and she was immediately operated on by a urologist who ‘blasted the stones with a laser.’

She also apologised for ‘looking so rough’ but said she felt a lot better than she did before her surgery.

Kidney stones typically affect 1 in 10 people between the ages of 30 and 60. Per the NHS they are ‘usually found in the kidneys or in the ureter, the tube that connects the kidneys to your bladder’.

‘They can be extremely painful, and can lead to kidney infections or the kidney not working properly if left untreated.’

The TV and radio personality was supported by her fans and celebrity pals who sent her their best wishes.

Broadcaster Kate Thornton commented: ‘Ouch! Thank goodness you’re in the right place. Feel better and sending my love x’

TV baker Juliet Sear added: ‘Oh my goodness Vanessa how scary! Sending lots of love hope you feel better really soon! Xxx’

‘@vanessafeltzofficial so sorry for your pain. Sending you ❤️,’ said Author and Stylist Rosie Green.

Just a few days before this ordeal, Vanessa was evacuated from her studio as fire engines rushed to Channel 5.

‘Oh for goodness sake, a fire alarm! Nobody quite knows if it’s real or pretend, but we think it’s real because there’s an actual fire engine and the building’s been evacuated!’ the presenter said at the time.

In July, Vanessa revealed that her daughter Allegra was also rushed to hospital after she was left lying in a pool of her own blood when she tripped over an uneven pavement.

‘She hurtled through the air, and we think she hit her face on another piece of uneven pavement as she fell and she is now extremely badly injured,’ she told hosts Ben Shephard and Cat Deeley on This Morning.

‘She was lying in a pool of her own blood, and nobody knew where she was bleeding from and she had to be taken to hospital.’
