Ranvir Singh Rushed to Hospital with Ruptured Appendix
TV presenter Ranvir Singh has revealed that she was rushed to hospital after misdiagnosing appendicitis as a stomach ache. The Good Morning Britain host was due to fill in for Lorraine Kelly on Lorraine on Friday, but was unable to make it to work after undergoing urgent surgery.
According to an article in The Independent, Singh had been taken ill with a stomach ache hours after presenting Lorraine two days before. By midnight that night, she discovered her appendix had ruptured. She took to Instagram to share her experience, revealing that she had a "pretty nasty few days" and is now taking the week off work to recover.
"I had a fab time as always hosting @lorraine last Wednesday wearing this gorgeous linen white pinstripe suit, felt a bit drained and foggy in the morning but nothing a couple of coffees couldn’t sort out," she wrote. "I’m off air – all good – and at 10.30am I feel this sudden stomach ache. I stay in bed all day. Turns out I had a ruptured appendix and had urgent surgery at midnight on Thursday!"
As reported by The Independent, appendicitis is caused by bacteria collecting in the appendix, causing infection and abdominal pain. In rare cases, the appendix may burst, releasing the bacteria into the abdominal cavity causing peritonitis, which can be fatal. Doctors suggest treating patients with suspected appendicitis with antibiotics and "watching and waiting". If there is no improvement in 48 hours, the patients should have surgery.
Singh’s condition took a turn for the worse when she woke up at 5am on Friday morning, still high on anaesthetic and thinking she could get into work to host the show as normal. However, she is now "sore and shuffling round", joking: "It’s the boredom that will kill me."
When Andi Peters presented Lorraine in Singh’s place on Friday, he told viewers: "First thing’s first, I’ve just got to say get well soon to Ranvir who can’t be here today, which is why they have drafted in a man in a bright orange shirt just to make sure you are awake this morning." He added: "Get well soon, Ranvir. We send you all of our love."
The incident highlights the importance of seeking medical attention immediately if symptoms of appendicitis persist. As The Independent reported, Singh’s appendix had ruptured and she had to undergo urgent surgery to treat the infection. She has since taken to social media to share her experience and raise awareness about the condition.
