Kerry Katona gives followers a major health update on her ailing mother Sue after she was rushed to hospital

Kerry Katona gave social media followers a health update on her mother after she was rushed to hospital, ‘nearly died twice’ and even broke her back.

The former Atomic Kitten star, 44, shared a heartfelt clip with her Instagram followers on Sunday explaining that her mother, Sue, was on the road to recovery.

Kerry and her mother sat at Sue’s hospital bedside and told fans she broke her back ‘years ago’ but doesn’t know how.

Her mother filmed a clip for social media, saying: ‘Well, after everything they told me and I was really bad, I almost died, twice, it broke me back.

“And I don’t know how, but apparently it was years ago.”

Kerry then explained that it hadn’t even been years, but she had broken her back.

The singer then revealed that her mother “frustrates” her because she has been asking him to go to the hospital for a while.

Her heartfelt update comes after she revealed that her mother had been rushed to hospital after doctors found blood clots in her lungs.

And sharing a video from her mum’s hospital bed on Monday, Kerry admitted she ‘saved her mum’s life’, while Sue confessed she ‘would have been dead’ if her daughter hadn’t brought her in.

Sue showed fans the extensive bruising on her mother’s arms and told the camera: ‘I’m not doing well. I have a fever, look at my arm. I’m tired of it.’

Kerry then asked her, “What would have happened to you if I hadn’t taken you?”

Her mother replied, “I would have been dead Thursday night. That’s it, I would have been dead.’

“She’s not out of the woods yet,” Kerry added, before her mother added: “Put it this way, she literally saved my life.”

Kerry then joked, “Look, this is what happens when you watch a lot of Grey’s Anatomy.”

The reality star took to Instagram on Sunday evening asking fans to pray for her mother after a scary 24 hours.

The star explained that she had not been to bed in over 24 hours and was exhausted, but wanted to be close to the hospital.

She apologized for ignoring work calls, adding that it had been a “tough” time with doctors caring for her mother.

In the video she said: ‘Hello everyone, please excuse my condition, I haven’t been to bed since 3am, not this morning, the day before.

‘I took my mother to the hospital, we didn’t sleep.

“For those of you in the know, thank you very much for the messages.

‘The hospital found clots in my mother’s lungs, she is not doing well. It’s been tough for over 24 hours.

“I definitely want to say to anyone who keeps texting me about work and stuff like that, I apologize, I have to put all of that on the back burner right now.

“I need to get some sleep so I can get back to the hospital so I can be there for my mom.”

Kerry also explained that she had gone back to her mother’s house because it was closer to the hospital and was getting ready for bed.

In the clip, the star was dressed in red pajamas and wore no makeup as she gave an update to her 800,000 followers.

She went on to say, “I love you mom, you really scared me. I could strangle you, but I got her to the hospital and that’s the most important thing.

“I ask all of you to say a little prayer to keep her strong and keep her fighting.”

In another video shared to her Instagram Story on Sunday, Kerry revealed that her mother was still not doing well before revealing that she is suffering from a clot in her heart.

In the short clip, she said, “There are so many underlying issues with my mother.” before asking Sue to behave in the hospital and do as she is told.

Keeping her fans updated, the star later shared a video of herself sitting in a chair in the hospital, next to her mother who was in bed in a hospital gown.

Sue waved at the camera as Kerry spun it around the room before saying hello.

She then showed off her bruised arms and joked ‘it’s a bit of a mess’ as Kerry worried about her.

The star then told her followers: ‘She’s on the right track. She’s in the right place.’

Sue then told her daughter’s fans that it was ‘tough and scary’ and very frightening before Kerry reassured those watching that she was now on the mend.

Sue’s hospital visit comes just two years after she was admitted after ‘a huge scare’.

Kerry was away in Redditch performing as the Wicked Witch of the West in The Wizard Of Oz Easter pantomime tour, and was unable to visit her mother in person.

The former I’m A Celeb star has always been open about life with her mother and previously opened up about her difficult childhood.

She previously revealed her earliest memory is of her controversial mother Sue slitting her wrists when the star was just three.

Kerry spoke to New Magazine about the trauma of living with her mother, who was manic-depressive, after speaking at length in the past about her troubled upbringing and struggles.

She said: ‘My earliest memory is seeing my mother slitting her wrists. I was three. She was manic-depressive and self-harmed until I was fifteen. That’s just how my life is. I’m so far removed from a foster child who grew up in a council home.’

Kerry has often publicly reflected on her childhood growing up in Warrington, Cheshire, after recalling the horrific moment last year when her mother’s ex-boyfriend threatened to ‘cut her feet off’ after stabbing her troubled parent.

The mother-of-five went on to say she was subsequently placed in foster care following the terrifying ordeal, which took place when she was just 13.

Kerry also discussed her mother Sue, who had a “terrible childhood” and problems with drugs and her mental health, adding: “She didn’t really know how to be a mother.”

Now looking back on her mother’s self-harm and problems, Kerry confessed that she has no regrets and is now happy with her life.
