TV icon Gloria Hunniford has opened up about her recent health scare that led to her being rushed to A&E.The Rip Off Britain and Loose Women host had been diagnosed with kidney stones shortly before the festive period.

After an initial operation, another procedure was needed three weeks later to remove a stent placed during the first surgery.

But soon after the first time she was put under general anaesthesia for the surgery, Gloria started feeling unwell. Speaking about her ordeal, Gloria revealed: "The last thing they said before I went to theatre was: 'When I take this stent out you are going to feel so much better. "But the next thing I knew coming out of the anaesthetic, was a nurse saying to me, 'Don't worry, don't panic but we are having to transfer you by ambulance to a different hospital because we can't get your blood pressure up'." Gloria's next memory is of coming to from the anaesthesia and a nurse explaining to her that she would have to be moved to another hospital due to low blood pressure, reports the Mirror.The 82 year old star was transported from her initial Maidstone-based hospital to a nearby A&E.

Recalling the impact on her health, Gloria said: "It was like somebody had put a tap in my body and just drained all the energy." Later, doctors discovered Gloria had kidney sepsis.Thankfully, the infection hadn't spread beyond Gloria's kidney.

COVID-19 variants identified in the UK – latest updates
UKHSA) has published its containing updated analysis of the emergent variant BA.2.86.BA.2.86 continues to transmit within the UK, with sporadic cases identified in most regions.The briefing contains early laboratory data from a number of scientific organisations around the UK, including UKHSA’s own Vaccine Development and Evaluation Centre (VDEC), the University of Oxford, the Glasgow Centre of Virus Research and the Pirbright Institute.This early data indicates that BA.2.86 is no more likely to evade existing antibodies than XBB.1.5, another variant that has been circulating widely in the UK.While the available data remains limited, there is currently no evidence to suggest that BA.2.86 infection is more likely to make people seriously ill than currently-circulating variants, while vaccination is likely to provide continued protection.UKHSA will continue to monitor vaccine effectiveness in the population throughout the winter and will publish updated analysis in due course.Professor Susan Hopkins, Chief Medical Advisor, UKHSA said:While this is still very early data and more research is needed before we can be certain, it is encouraging to see an initial indication that BA.2.86 demonstrates similar levels of antibody escape compared to other variants circulating in the UK. The available data is too limited to draw conclusions about the severity of the illness it causes, but there is so far no evidence to suggest that it is more likely to make people seriously ill than other Omicron variants in circulation.The autumn vaccination programme started this month, and this new data shows once again how important it is that the most vulnerable among us are fully vaccinated in order to receive the greatest possible protection.
