Jameela Jamil has been forced to cancel her live podcast show after being struck by an ongoing illness.
The actress and activist, 40, was scheduled to take the stage on Friday, September 11, for a live taping of her comedy disaster podcast Wrong Turns, in which celebrity guests share their most horrific and embarrassing true stories without any silver lining.
Jameela told her fans on Instagram on Friday that she had been ‘really ill’ and will no longer be able to take part in the live show, which was due to be recorded at Kings Place during the London Podcast Festival.
The Good Place star then apologized to her fans before stating that she would take some time to “recover.”
In one message she wrote: ‘I’m so sorry to have to do this, but as you may have seen in several hospital photos over the past few weeks, I have been very ill due to a fluke.
‘I can’t do the live show WRONG TURNS (which you sold out because you’re the damn best) next Friday. I can’t think of a bigger wrong turn than this.

‘We will hopefully come back bigger and stronger soon. I love being with you in person. I just have to take care of myself.’
Jameela concluded; “I’m VERY VERY sorry. I’m going to go away for a while and recover. Love you. Listen to your body.’
In her caption, she noted that this was the first time in 18 years that she had canceled a work commitment, before thanking the nurses who kept her “above water.”
She wrote: ‘I promise I will arrange the show for when I am well enough again. I’ve never canceled a gig or booked a job in my entire 18 year career, so you can imagine how crazy this must be. It was a bit like life in Final Destination.
‘Grateful to nurses James, Barold and Winnie who kept me above water.
“I’ll still be substacking and posting from my bed every now and then.”
Her post received an abundance of supportive messages from her followers wishing her well.
The star also took to her Instagram Stories to reshare a message from the London Podcast Festival, wishing her a speedy recovery amid her illness, with Jameela adding that she was ‘gutted’ that she had cancelled.

Although Jameela didn’t specify her illness in her latest post, the cancellation comes just days after she opened up about experiencing an anaphylactic reaction, admitting she was “exhausted” and saying her “heart is fluttering.”
She wrote, “Okay, so the day after the anaphylaxis and the treatment for it I am so exhausted.
‘My heart is pounding and I feel nauseous. I fell asleep about 8 times today.
‘What is this? I’m sure it’s normal, but I’ve never experienced anything like this before. It feels cardiovascular. Has anyone else had this?’
