CBB star rushed to hospital with suspected pneumonia
STEPHANIE Davis was rushed to hospital yesterday after doctors feared she had pneumonia.
The 31-year-old actress revealed she had been struggling with a cough for three weeks before seeking medical help.
Fortunately Steph discovered she just had a nasty infection, and was sent home with medication to help her.
She told fans: “Had a bad chest infection for three weeks now. Went to the doctors today and they sent me to hospital thinking it was pneumonia, thankfully it’s just a really bad infection I can’t shift. My lovely mum sat with me for most of the day.”
The star continued by thanking her mum for her help, writing: “So grateful for all she does and has done for me. Felt like it was a therapy session.
“We ended the day on a good laugh, nearly wetting ourselves in the car park when she screamed thinking her car was bashed, dinted and scratched and then vigorously tried to wipe the mark off to realise it wasn’t her car.
