PREGNANT Made in Chelsea star Tiffany Watson is in hospital amid health fears weeks before giving birth.
Her unborn baby is suffering from a "high heart rate" after Tiffany battled a ten-day dose of the flu.
The 31-year-old was put on a drip after doctors discovered she was dehydrated during a routine appointment.
Tiffany was being tested for gestational diabetes in hospital when medics became concerned.
She told fans: "Went in this morning to get tested again for gestational diabetes because the baby is measuring so big and ended up on a drip due to being so dehydrated and baby heart rate high.
"I just can't shake this flu I've got. It's been about ten days now.

What is gestational diabetes?
Gestational diabetes is a form of diabetes that develops during pregnancy and usually goes away once you give birth.
The NHS states that it can happen at any stage of pregnancy, but is more common in the second or third trimester.
It happens when your body cannot produce enough insulin – a hormone that helps control blood sugar levels – to meet your extra needs in pregnancy.
Gestational diabetes can cause problems for you and your baby during pregnancy and after birth. But the risks can be reduced if the condition is detected early and well managed.
Symptoms:
- increased thirst
- needed to urinate more often
- a dry mouth
- tiredness
