Pregnant Kerry Rushed to Hospital

Pregnant Kerry Katona was rushed to hospital yesterday with suspected pre-eclampsia.

The reality star, 27, is being treated at a maternity unit in Macclesfield, near her home in Cheshire.

She is being tested for the illness which can lead to kidney and liver failure, and in severe cases can be fatal to both mum and baby.

The mother-of-three’s spokeman, Max Clifford, was reported by
Now Magazine as saying:

"We're praying for her but only time will tell…In the past few weeks she's been in increasing pain with her legs and feet swollen. We just hope it's not pre-eclampsia. Mark's very concerned, like the rest of us. But she is a fighter and we've all got our fingers crossed."
This came just days after Katona checked herself into The Priory.

Kerry, who already has 3 daughters, Molly,6, Lily Sue, 5, and Heidi,1, suspended filming of her MTV fly-on-the-wall documentary, Crazy in Love, while she was treated with depression.

However,
MSN Columnist David Levin, was amongst the first to wish the troubled star luck.

"Her reality show has been suspended, her Iceland contract is coming to an end, she’s been back in rehab, and now she’s been rushed to hospital... if anyone needs a bit of good luck, it’s Kerry Katona."
He continued by explaining what has been happening over the past few years, after the reality star won I’m a Celebrity Get Me Out of Here!

"In the past few years Kerry’s life has played out like a soap opera. She has been held hostage at gunpoint in her home, had friends and family sell stories of her alleged drug use, been criticised for smoking throughout her pregnancies, and faced claims that husband Mark Croft has been unfaithful. The former addict was accused of using cocaine while pregnant following an erratic appearance on GMTV last October, and reports surfaced that ex-husband Brian McFadden was considering filing for custody of their two daughters."
Lets hope all test results come back clear so the star can make a fresh start with baby number four.
