The star shared a pH๏τo of Ryan placing a sunshine balloon at the end of her bed as she told her followers: ‘It’s World kindness day. The world feels like it’s been a bit unkind to me again.’

She added that she hopes to be home soon, especially as it her son Leo’s third birthday on November 15. 

‘Today is a new day. And that hopefully means home,’ she continued. ‘I really hate to say it but I’ve been back in hospital feeling very poorly (I feel like the word ‘poorly’ warrants the label of an Onomatopoeia – everything about it resembles elderly, frail illnessy stuff).’

‘As I say it I feel like a grandma blowing out bubbles for words. It looks and sounds sick. Like I did. Even though I’m also confusingly only 34 and incredibly strong. Mentally and physically STRONG. If I do say so myself.’

Louise went on to admit ‘I’m almost embarssed at this point. BUT there is light,’ as she thanked hospital staff and her friends and family for taking care of her. 

‘Despite The Surgery The ʙuтт drain The Catheter The Stoma The Robinsons drains Dreaded Pigtail drain Copious cannulas, damn I wish I’d accepted that picc line Blood tests galore My poor poor bod. I’ve felt like a bit of a zombie. There have been beacons of kindness EVERYWHERE.’

‘It’s been needed because oh goodness me it’s been quite scary seeing my body laden with so many foreign objects. I’m amazed I even managed to move with all that in at one point.’

‘I literally had a tail dangling out of me. Sтιтched in. In fact I felt like an octopus with multiple legs or tubes (turns out a cannula with different entry points is called an octopus too). Great minds. Or a great subconscious mind and memory of mine.’

‘Ahhh the joy of heavy heavy opioids for getting me through the worst of it. Thank goodness for poppies. Thank goodness for science. Thank goodness for modern medicine.’

‘Back to the important thing : kindness. There have been many many people who have been incredibly kind who have got me through. Like BEYOND KIND.’

‘Angel level of kind. The kind of people you meet and think gosh I wish I was as kind as you because you are next level kind, going out of your way to help others. You really are a superstar kind of god given gift.’

‘It’s really remarkable that there are people out there that are THIS cool. Actually I don’t mean cool. I mean warm, really really warm. Because warm > cool. The world is a better place because of you.’

‘My faith in humanity is actually at an all time high right now.’

She added that she hopes to be home soon, especially as it her son Leo's third birthday on November 15. 'Today is a new day. And that hopefully means home'

Ryan explained on Wednesday’s podcast episode how he rushed his partner to A&E when she suffered agonising abdomonal pain.

Ryan said he had returned from a weekend visiting his family in Devon to find Louise  ‘rolling around in heaps of pain’ at the London home their share with Leo.

By the early hours of the morning she could take no more and Ryan rushed her to A&E ‘and a few hours later she was on the operating table.’

Louise underwent surgery ‘in the same tummy area that she’s been recovering from since earlier this year with her stoma surgery. It was completely unexpected,’ Ryan told listeners.

Complications arose and she went into septic shock after the operation which Ryan explained ‘shows the severity of how bad things got.’

Ryan reᴀssured listeners that his fiancée is recovering, and is out of the intensive care unit, but he confessed the terrifying ordeal has taken its toll on both of them.

‘I don’t know how much more she can take,’ he said. ‘It’s soul destroying, it takes the wind right out of your sails.’

Louise, the elder sister of Sam Thompson, has faced series of health issues since the birth of Leo in November 2021. 

She recently published her book Lucky which details her health battles over the past three years.

She shared the news of having a stoma bag fitted with her Instagram followers in early April, as she bravely admitted it is ‘not something she wanted to hide forever’.

The television personality has previously spoken about her ongoing struggles with the bowel condition ulcerative colitis as well as the autoimmune disease lupus.

Ulcerative colitis is a chronic bowel condition where the colon and rectum become inflamed and small ulcers develop on the colon’s lining, which can bleed. The condition has no cure, but can be effectively managed with time.

WHAT IS ULCERATIVE COLITIS?

 WHAT IS ULCERATIVE COLITIS?

Ulcerative colitis is a long-term condition, where the colon (the bowel) and rectum become inflamed. It affects around one in every 420 people living in the UK.

Small ulcers can develop on the colon’s lining, and can bleed and produce pus.

Symptoms include recurring diarrhoea, which may contain blood, mucus or pus, abdominal pain and needing to empty your bowels frequently.

People may also experience fatigue, loss of appeтιтe and weight loss.

WHAT CAUSES ULCERATIVE COLITIS?

Ulcerative colitis is thought to be an autoimmune condition which means the immune system – the body’s defence against infection – goes wrong and attacks healthy tissue.

The most popular theory is that the immune system mistakes harmless bacteria inside the colon for a threat and attacks the tissues of the colon, causing it to become inflamed.

Exactly what causes the immune system to behave in this way is unclear. Most experts think it’s a combination of genetic and environmental factors.
