A Place in the Sun fans have flocked to show their support to presenter Scarlette Douglas after she revealed she’d been urged to visit A&E.
Douglas, 36, has been updating fans of late after deciding to freeze her eggs but it appears the repercussions have left her requiring hospital care.
Douglas shared a clip on Instagram in which she complained about a “numbing” sensation in her left arm and leg.
Once she told her clinic, Douglas was urged to visit A&E as the risk of blood clots could play a part in her health woe.
She explained all in a social media clip where she began: “Hey everyone, it’s a quick one today because I am hosting an awards show.”
After paying a nod to her all-green ensemble, Douglas continued: “But yeah, I’m hosting an awards show today which means that on my break, I’ll be running into the toilet here and glamorously doing one of my injections.

“I have noticed over the last few days I’ve been getting a slight numbing, tingling sensation in my left arm and a little bit in my left leg, like a dead arm (or) dead leg.
“You know when you sleep on something funny… so at first I was thinking that’s probably what it is.
“But then, obviously, Dr Google freaked me out and made me think it could actually be something worse.
“So I did call the clinic today, they said I need to get to A&E when I can just to triple-check everything’s okay so I will be doing that after the awards show tonight.”
Douglas delved further: “Make sure I don’t have any blood clots and also to make sure there is no hyper-ovarian stimulation going on.
“Now, I did only have a scan on Tuesday and that showed that actually everything was fine so I’m sure it’s nothing to worry about but if you have been through this process and you noticed it as well, let me know.
“If you are going through it and you’re noticing it, let me know. If you’re going through it and it hasn’t happened, I’m just letting you know it could potentially be a side effect.
“Google has also said that it could just be an excess amount of hormones because my body is getting new ‘materials’ inside it through the medication, it could just be from that.”

Before signing off, the former I’m A Celeb campmate tried to reassure her followers: “I’m feeling a lot better, I took some aspirin just in case it is a blood clot or anything – I’m sure it’s not – but that just helps to thin the blood.”
Following the update, several concerned fans took to the comments to wish Douglas well while pleading with her to avoid googling symptoms.
“Please stay away from Dr Google,” one replied. “But yes follow the advice of the clinic and go get checked, looking after you and your body will be vital in the process.”
“Good luck at the award ceremony and at a &e! Hope it’s nothing serious,” a second concerned fan said before a third weighed in: “Fingers crossed it’s nothing to worry about x,” followed by a shocked-faced emoji.
A fourth similarly shared their worry: “I really hope everything is okay with you. It’s always a danger when introducing foreign bodies into your system, but God willing, it all works out well. Stay safe.”
And a fifth simply put to the TV presenter: “Really hope everything is all ok.” (sic)
