KATE Ferdinand made a mercy dash to be with her estranged father as he suffered a health scare. She raced to be by his hospital bedside after an emergency call.
The reality TV star wife of footie legend Rio was due to attend a family wedding. But she was forced to leave the kids and make a beeline to see her dad Phil.
A source said: "It was a very emotional time. Kate was very brave." Kate was so exhausted by the ordeal last week she jetted out for a sunshine break in Dubai.
