Stephanie Davis has revealed she was rushed to hospital on Tuesday, after doctors feared she had pneumonia.
The Coronation Street star, 30, took to her Instagram to inform her fans that she had been suffering from a chest infection for three weeks.
After seeking medical help, she was sent straight to the hospital with suspected pneumonia, which is an inflammation of the lungs that can become very serious and even lead to death.
Thankfully however, Steph discovered that she had just come down with nasty infection and had been sent home with medication.
She shared a video of her holding her mum Pauline’s hand to Lutan Fyah’s Mama Love and captioned it: ‘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.’
Voicing her gratitude for her mum’s support, she added: ‘My lovely mum sat with me for most of the day. 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. Love you mum, thank you for always being there.’
The actress added: ‘I’ve been put on steroids now (they never agree with me) and more antibiotics and something to break up my chest so hopefully can have a day cough free soon.’
It’s not the first time the star has landed in hospital with breathing issues, as she is also asthmatic.
The former Hollyoaks star was hospitalised with Covid in July 2021, after she ‘woke up and couldn’t move’.
At the time, Stephanie had not been vaccinated for the coronavirus, despite her asthma putting her at the top of the priority list, because of her serious food allergies.
She shared a video from her hospital bed while wearing an oxygen mask, where she explained that the onset of her symptoms ‘happened so quick.’
She said: ‘So last night I had a bit of a headache before bed, and my sinuses. I woke up so ill. I had to call an ambulance basically, and I’ve tested positive for Covid-19.

‘I feel like I’ve been ran over. The worst part is my skin. I can’t touch my skin, it’s killing me. I’m just in so much pain.
‘Oh my god, it’s horrible. And it just, it happened so quick. I basically woke up and couldn’t move.
‘I’ve never had sore skin before, so I thought: ‘Well, this isn’t like a chest infection’. Normally, I suffer with my chest. I feel rotten.’
After having her breathing device removed, the mother-of-one returned and told fans: ‘I’m going back to sleep now. Trying to get an hours’ sleep. I feel like I’ve been ran over. My skin, I can’t touch my skin.’
Following a little rest, Stephanie explained to her followers: ‘They’ve started me on some more fluids and some painkillers and intravenous for the pain… Honestly, my god. I feel like I’ve been ran over.
‘Did anyone else [with Covid-19] have sore skin? I feel like I can’t touch my skin, and my back. My chest feels a bit better after having some nebulisers, but my god!’
A spokesperson for Stephanie told MailOnline at the time: ‘She has been in isolation and is awaiting a chest X-ray.
‘She’s at risk because of her underlying asthma. Stephanie has not been vaccinated yet because of her allergies and anaphylaxis.’
