Hollyoaks star Chelsee Healey revealed she was rushed to see the medics after falling ill at work. The 37-year-old actress took to her Instagram Stories to share a video of herself in the backseat of her car as she rubbed her face from exhaustion before looking at the camera.
In the video, Chelsee looked poorly and had her hair tied in a messy bun. She referred to a gorgeous snap of herself cat walking down the street and wrote: "I'm actually a fraud for posting that picture last night, state of me," along with a few vomiting emojis. "Head's banging flu type s**t."
She also shared a snap of herself sitting in the waiting room and wrote in the caption: "Couldn't work... Now I'm here."
Her absence from work comes after Chelsee went through a rough couple of months. In June, her former long-term partner and father of her child, Edward Rainford, was sentenced to two years in prison for his part in what a judge described as a boutique cannabis supply chain.
Rainford had pleaded guilty to being concerned in the supply of a Class B drug between November 2022 and September 2023. Chelsee was presenter during his sentencing in June but the two are no longer together.
She and Rainford welcomed a child called Cookie in 2021. When Chelsee was booted from Dancing On Ice, she alluded to her struggles off-camera during her exit chat.
The star said: "There has been a lot going on with me that I have been struggling with."
Days after her exit, she also shared an honest post about vulnerability, telling fans: "I wanted to come on here and speak about vulnerability. Its so hard to come on here and open up and let people know that youre vulnerable, and I feel like Ive had a guard up my whole life.
When Im struggling I dont let people in, and Ive always put on a brave face and I dont like people knowing Im on a downward spiral. I dont like people to know that Im not where I want to be, so I just think its very important to say if you do need help, please reach out.
Its a cliche saying Its ok not to be ok, but you know, years ago I would never even come on social media like this, like this is me, and this is the real, raw me.
Im speaking from the heart as well, and as Ive got older I dont mind telling people Im struggling - I think its good and speaking to people is good, and asking for help is fine.
She had kept Rainford's identity hidden since they started dating in 2021 and later only shared a handful of snaps of him on social media. It was Chelsee's Hollyoaks co-star, Richard Blackwood, who revealed Eddie's name on social media as he shared snaps from Chelsee's baby shower.
The TV star previously said she knew Rainford was "the one", explaining: "This is the most supportive relationship I've ever been in. My friends and family love him, and he's the first bloke I've introduced Coco to, which says a lot.
"I knew he was 'The One' within three to four months. I've kissed a few frogs, but he's definitely marriage material."
