Kerry Katona Hospitalized: Stroke Fears Grip Star

Kerry Katona experienced a health scare, being rushed to St Thomas' Hospital by ambulance amid fears she was having a stroke. The incident occurred while she was in London to watch her daughter Molly perform. Katona noticed her face wasn't right and her speech was worsening, leading her to believe she might not have much time left and prompting her to message her children.

After being transferred to King's College Hospital, scans revealed that a part of her brain was not sending signals to her face due to stress. This condition can manifest even when feeling content, as a delayed stress reaction. Katona has since sought advice and is experiencing shooting pains in her head and noticeable changes in her speech.
