Louise Thompson's fiance shares 'therapy' update as MIC star remains in hospital

The fiance of Louise Thompson has posted a message on his social media sharing how he is trying to stay strong as the former Made In Chelsea star is still undergoing tests in hospital.

The 33 year old mother of one, who she shares with Ryan, was admitted into hospital late last month following a series of health issues since the birth of her son in 2021. Taking to Instagram, Ryan, 33, posted a video of himself on a treadmill working out, while listening to Pearl Jam's Yellow Ledbetter song - as he simply wrote the word "therapy" to accompany the video.

Two days ago Ryan, who is a personal trainer and had also appeared on the E4 reality TV show, informed fans that until doctors know more about her condition, he was not sure when she will be allowed to come home. He wrote: "Louise has been in hospital for 12 days now. "

He added: "We don't know when she will be ready to come home yet. But thank you to everyone who has sent messages of love and support to our family. It does help." Ryan then shared a picture of himself and the couple's son Leo-Hunter and continued: "We're missing mummy everyday." Louise has been candid about her health struggles from giving birth to frequent hospital visits to determine her condition.

Louise and Ryan welcomed their first child back in November 2021 but claimed she was left "dancing with death" at the time. The couple remained tight-lipped over Leo's arrival for five weeks as doctors worked hard to save Louise's life. But the reality TV star, who before her pregnancy was a keen fitness influencer, finally announced the birth of her baby boy two days before Christmas 2021.

She told fans "dance with death twice brings a whole new view of the world." And things continued to get worse for Louise as she was then diagnosed with Post Traumatic Stress Disorder. She said at the time that her mind and body felt they were in "constant fight or flight mode". She also provided fans with a detailed account of her panic episodes.

In a candid post she wrote: "My panic episodes can last hours or days and are totally unpredictable. When I'm having one I can't function, I can't look after myself, let alone anyone else around me. I can't even spell my name. I can't see, I can't hear, I can't look anyone in the eye. They have got so bad that I have convinced myself that I'm going crazy. I feel depersonalisation, hyper paranoia as if I've taken a million and one drugs and I feel like I'm stuck in another realm. I am not myself."

She continued: "If our trip had been 3 days earlier the outcome is likely to have been very different. Goodness only knows what would have happened if I’d been flying high in the sky on a 9hr flight, or roaming around bare foot on a remote Caribbean island, but my instinct is telling me that I wouldn’t have survived."
