The  and star, 21, took to her Instagram Stories to share an update with fans from her hospital bed on Saturday.

She penned: 'Hi all, I don’t usually post things like this but I just thought it was important to share awareness. On Thursday afternoon I went to a&e with abnormal stomach pain not knowing what it was'.

'The doctors diagnosed me with appendicitis later that evening and organised surgery for the morning. I’ve never had a health scare like this and if it wasn’t for someone’s advice pushing me to go to a&e my appendix would have ruptured'. 

She went on: I had no prior symptoms, it cam on in the space of an hour, Please listen to your bodies'.

It comes after  and fans have been left thousands of pounds out of pocket after two stars pulled out of a fan event over claims of a 'breach of contract.'

Vicky Myers, who plays Lisa Myers on Corrie, and Michelle Hardwick, who stars as Vanessa Woodfield on Emmerdale, were scheduled to appear at FanFushionUK at Heathrow this weekend.

Fans had forked out up to £1000 for tickets to the sold-out event with the hope of receiving autographs and selfies from their favourite soap stars.

However on Friday both Vicky and Michelle confirmed they would no longer be attending the event.

The pair alleged a 'breach of contract from bosses,' who have since hit back claiming they first they learned of their withdrawal was via social media.

In a post on X, Vicky wrote: 'It is with deep regret that due to the organisers breach of contract, myself and Michelle Hardwick are unable to attend the FanFusion event this weekend.

'We are incredibly disappointed, as we were very much looking forward to meeting you all.

'We would like to send our sincere apologies and our love and best wishes to our loyal fans. Please direct all refund enquiries to FanFusion. Vicky.'

However FanfusionUK hit back in a statement that was shared with guests at the venue, saying they first learned that Vicky and Michelle would no longer be attending through their statements online.

They said: 'We regret to announce that Vicky Myers and Michelle Hardwick will no longer be attending FanFusionUK this weekend.

'Unfortunately this update was not directly communicated to us and we became aware of the situation at the same time as the fandom.

'We understand that this news may be disappointing and frustrating and we recognise that there may be speculation or rumours circulating.

'Despite this we remain committed to ensuring you have an enjoyable weekend and we are excited to still host the five fantastic guests who are in attendance.

'As we have only just received this information ourselves, we kindly ask for your patience while we take the necessary time to review the situation and determine the next steps.'

The last-minute nature of the cancellation has been made even more apparant by the fact that full size pictures of Vicky were still available for fans to pose with at the venue.

It meant that fans had been left significantly out of pocket, with some even posting they'd flown over from Australia and Canada.

Prices for the event weren't cheap with ticket packages starting at £150 and going up to £1,000, with selfies with Michelle or Vicky charged between £35 and £45 per picture.
