Big Brother star Kerry Riches has revealed that she was rushed to the doctor, after suffering a painful accident that viewers didn’t see at home.The 40 year old became the fourth housemate to be booted out of the house on Monday, 30 October, in a shocking Halloween-themed twist.
However, since leaving the house she's revealed she suffered an extreme burn on her hand that needed medical attention.The NHS worker told The Sun: “I burnt my hand on a hair thong that got hot very quickly, and I didn't realise it was on and straight away they asked me to go to the diary room. “I was asked if I had any blisters - the team were really on it.” However, that wasn’t the only medical issue that Kerry had during her nearly three weeks in the house.
Kerry has multiple sclerosis, and some of the common symptoms of the disease include vision problems, balance issues and tiredness, some of which made Kerry’s time on the show even more difficult.
On the day she left the house, Kerry says that she was “ready” to go, due to her symptoms getting more severe.
