Megan McKenna revealed that she was rushed to the hospital after suffering ‘the most painful’ abscess.
The 31-year-old former The Only Way is Essex star is currently pregnant, and this is her second hospitalisation in a matter of weeks.
Sharing a post on Instagram, she wrote: ‘Sorry I’ve been quiet I’ve been really unwell, I have an abscess which has been the most painful thing I’ve ever experienced and I’ve had an allergic reaction to medication I took for it. It all led to bad swelling in and under my tongue and neck which has been very scary.’
Megan then went on to thank medical staff at the hospital she was taken to.
‘I can’t thank Birmingham City Hospital enough and the ambulance service for taking care of me this morning. The care I received was amazing, I’m still recovering and still a bit swollen but I’m on the right medication to help it,’ she continued.
Concluding her post, the reality star went on to write that she had ‘wanted to get back to your DMS as I know some of you have been worried about me’ and thanked followers for checking in.
‘I’ll be posting some cute food videos from before I was unwell soon that I never got to post…so hope you enjoy,’ she added.
Megan, who has appeared on Celebrity Big Brother, The X Factor: Celebrity, and Celebrity MasterChef, revealed last month that she had a terrifying allergic reaction that forced her to visit the emergency room.
Following a medicated IVF transfer, Megan’s stomach suddenly doubled in size, leaving her concerned about the impact on her unborn child, whom she is expecting with fiancé Oliver Burke, 26.

In a social media video, she explained that she was particularly sensitive to certain medications, but doctors assured her that the allergic reaction would not harm the baby.
The scare came a week after Megan publicly announced her pregnancy and detailed her IVF journey.
While the couple had been trying to conceive for some time, they eventually decided to visit a fertility clinic because Megan has PCOS.
Megan and Oliver became engaged in June of last year, after dating for five months.
