Kéllé Bryan was joined by her fellow Loose Women panellists as she opened up about a recent health scare, which saw her 12-year-old son become a ‘hero’.
During Tuesday’s instalment of the ITV programme, the singer, 49, emotionally recalled the moment she had to wake her son up in the middle of the night after experiencing intense pain.
While discussing how women often delay seeking medical attention, Ruth Langsford, 64, turned to Kéllé and said: ‘You’ve had a very recent health, I say scare, health nightmare!’
The ITV favourite then elaborated on waking up in extreme pain after an ordinary day and admitted: ‘I recognised it because I’d had a brief encounter with it two weeks before so I had a feeling, this is kidneys. I had that sense. It’s worse than labour, debilitating straight away.’
Ruth proceeded to ask her if the pain was sharp, which she confirmed, saying she felt the pain getting worse, yet she couldn’t find her phone.

Feeling desperate in the moment, Kéllé said: ‘In the end I had to wake up one of my children, I felt really bad but I thought, I just can’t, this is an emergency. So I crawled up the stairs on my hands and my knees and I woke him up.’
She revealed her son panicked initially once realising how bad the situation was, but she tried her best to reassure him.
She explained: ‘I said “Mummy just needs your help, I need you to be really grown up and I need your help” Then he said, “Right, what do I need to do?”‘
Kéllé told her son to call his father and summon the emergency services before bringing her some water and a bowl, as she was vomiting at the time.
She recalled: ‘He was just, adorable, he was my absolute hero.’
The Loose Women panellist then revealed to the women that she had a kidney stone lodged in her urethra, which ultimately required surgical intervention.
Kéllé admitted that despite leading a generally healthy lifestyle, her diet was the culprit behind her kidney stones as she confessed: ‘I overeat, which is weird. Too many tomatoes, too much spinach, so it’s really about eating well but everything in moderation.’
Her health scare revelation comes after Loose Women fans slammed her earlier this week for seemingly ‘trolling’ Ruth as she spoke about remaining friends with an ex after a break-up.

Ruth and estranged husband Eamonn Holmes, 64, announced their plans to divorce after 14 years of marriage back in May and it later emerged that he was dating relationship therapist Katie Alexander, 42.
On Monday’s episode of the ITV daytime show, the panel including Ruth, Kéllé, Coleen Nolan and Kelly Holmes, discussed the joy of finding someone you know will be a lifelong friend, referring to the unlikely friendship between Dame Judi Dench and Jay Blade amid their new series.
While the rest of the panel shared their experiences with long time school friends, Kéllé went on to talk about people maintaining friendships after they had split, noting it was a ‘unique’ thing for people to remain close.
But while the Eternal singer meant no harm with her words, Loose Women viewers were quick to call her out for discussing the sensitive subject in front of Ruth, who is going through a high profile break-up and was still wearing her wedding ring.
Taking to X, formerly known as Twitter, they made their feelings about Kéllé’s words clear.
They penned: ‘Is Bryant trolling Ruth regarding her recent breakup??’
‘Oops Kelle, talking about being friends after break ups.’
‘Oh remained friends after a break up Ruth.’
Sharing her thoughts on the panel, Kéllé said: ‘It’s quite unique when you date someone or have a relationship with somebody and then you go on to have a friendship after that. That’s quite a unique thing, especially if you’ve shared quite a lot during that relationship.’
‘Sometimes breakups can be quite nasty and you go your own way, but if you can find your way back or have something that keeps you in common, and you still remain friends after that relationship has broken up, there’s something about the longevity of that…’

‘The jokes, the laughter, the things that you’ve shared, the experiences that only you two have had., for me that’s a [powerful thing.’
Meanwhile the ex-husband of Eamonn‘s new girlfriend Katie Alexander has broken his silence on his former wife’s new relationship.
George Alexander, who split from Katie before she began dating the GB News host, said he had a ‘lot of sympathy’ for Ruth.
Speaking to The Sun George, who was married to Katie between 2010 and 2022, said: ‘I have a lot of sympathy for Ruth’.
‘I have had my heart broken when my marriage to Katie ended.’
Adding: ‘It took me a couple of years to recover. I know how distraught Ruth must be feeling. She’s going through what I did after our marriage ended.’
George also insisted his former wife ‘had a heart’ so would no doubt take Ruth’s feelings into consideration.
MailOnline have contacted Katie’s reps for comment.
