Ella Morgan has issued a health update after taking a break from social media for the sake of her health.
The Celebs Go Dating star, 29, previously told how she had ‘never been so ill’ with a mystery illness.
In a post to her Instagram, she said: ‘Hi everyone. I want to update you following my recent illness and hospital stay.
‘Since the start of last year, my overall health and weight for some time has not been something I have treated as a priority but that has now changed.
‘I have been taking this time to rest and recover as advised by my medical team. I also want to take this opportunity to also thank the NHS and Weston General for looking after me.
‘Whilst I am usually an open book, on this occasion when it come to my medical recovery, I will take my time before giving more details as I am still awaiting some test results and would request privacy during this period.
‘To reassure everyone, I am slowly on the mend and on the path to recovery.
‘I want to thank you all for the supportive words, flowers cards and kind messages (My DMs are always open).’
Ella, who became the first transgender bride on the UK version of Married At First Sight UK, admitted that she was missing work and would continue her Pride commitments that she is ‘so passionate about’.
She said: ‘I cannot wait to get back to work full-time and of course filming, CGD!
‘I am taking a few more days to rest and recover but I will be attending Bristol Pride tomorrow for my speech at 4pm, something I am so passionate about and cannot wait to see many of you there to celebrate my hometown Pride!
‘Thank you again and Love you all, Ella x’.
Earlier in the month, the reality star, who is in the middle of filming series 13 of E4’s Celebs Go Dating, admitted that pursuing romance in front of the cameras had ‘triggered’ her.
Taking to her Instagram Stories, she said: ‘I’m really excited about this journey, but I nearly quit the other day. It was just getting so much.
‘It was quite triggering. I don’t know what I was expecting. I thought it was going to be a bit of a breeze and a walk in the park.
Ella explained that taking part in the E4 dating show is more of a ‘solo’ experience than MAFS but doesn’t want to use her platform to only talk about her transition, which she began at the age of 16.
She continued: ‘This is definitely more of a solo journey than MAFS. With Celebs Go Dating you’re working out what you do right, what do you wrong, what you need to work on.’
She concluded: ‘Now I’m going to have to be fully vulnerable and be myself, which isn’t just crazy, loud, fun Ella. I’m obviously a lot more serious and tame.’
Ella made history as the first transgender participant on Celebs Go Dating, and her time on MAFS famously saw her couple up with JJ Slater, who is the current boyfriend of Katie Price.
Ella was left ‘betrayed’ by Katie when when the ex-glamour model stole her ex and Katie is now said to be nervous about what Ella will reveal.
Other stars who may join the show are Coronation Street’s Helen Flanagan and Love Island OG Chris Taylor.
