Vicky was supported at her bedside by fiancé Ercan Ramadan, 30, but threw her upcoming summer wedding into doubt after saying she’d be forced to remain in hospital ‘for a while’.
Writing: ‘Definitely not the weekend I was intending on having.. I was anticipating being up mount Snowdon for gods sake’
‘Don’t even know really to start, but I feel like I dropped that stupid story to let a few people who were concerned about my radio silence know I was being looked after & then loads more people just worried, which was never my intention, you’re all too kind btw’.

She continued: ‘I am feeling much better, but absolutely flying off my pain meds so I hope this isn’t all abit too chaotic’.
‘I woke up on Thursday with a terrible headache, I ignored it & assumed it was because I’d had super long day the day before- anyway it persisted & became a sore throat, razor blade vibes & I got the fever, aches, pains, sore joints etc’.
‘I tried to get to an emergency doctors appointment but we got stuff in a terrible accident- a journey that should have take an hour took 6 & even though the Dr did his best on the phone he had no real way of knowing what was best. Fast forward 24hours & I had started to be sick which was just making everything worse- my throat was so swollen I couldn’t swallow, drink water & pain killers were completely out of the question, it was getting to the point where I physically couldn’t move’.
Vicky went on: ‘Starting to feel scared, I made another emergency app with my doctor & was referred straight to A&E. after around 36 hours, about 6 bags of fluid, 3 of antibiotics & an untold amount of pain relief we’re starting to get to the bottom of things’.
‘They think it’s glandular fever, an big infection & an abscess in my throat. I didn’t allow myself any recovery time after covid & it’s just compromised my immune system I suppose- I haven’t allowed myself any downtime this year,’
‘ have burn the candle at both ends, worked a punishing schedule & ignored all signs that my body was desperate for a break; feeling drained, overwhelmed, can’t sleep at night for anxiety exhausted in the morning, loss of appetite, not prioritising my exercise- I haven’t done anything since the half marathon in April which is so unlike me’.
Before concluding: ‘This has been the wake up call I needed but I’m angry with myself I let it go this far- I’ll be in hospital for awhile & I think it’s for the best’.
It comes just days after Vicky revealed the wedding would be filmed for a two-part special on E4.
