The Apprentice legend rushed to hospital in ‘intense pain’ after six weeks of hell
THE Apprentice star Rochelle Anthony has revealed she was rushed to hospital and needs surgery after six weeks of hell.
The businesswoman took to Instagram last night to share her agony.
Rochelle told fans she has two gallstones stuck in her bile duct which are too big to pass naturally.
The health concern comes a year after she had her gallbladder removed as well as 19 gallstones.
She wrote: “I’ve been struggling with back pain for the past six weeks. This last 10 days have really ramped up.”
After blood tests, scans and A&E trips, Rochelle finally got her diagnosis.
The stones need to be removed by a specialist, so she was sent home from hospital with strong painkillers in the meantime.
She continued: “… that’s left me sleeping all day/being sick feeling dizzy. But it’s better than the intense pain I’ve had for the past six days.
“Trust your gut and fight for answers. Hopefully I will get the much needed operation asap.”
She went on to deny posting for attention and signed off: “Honestly, I’d rather give birth hurts less than any kind of stone.”
Rochelle made it to the finale of The Apprentice season 17 as she tried to convince Lord Sugar to invest in her hair salon.
It was a close call, but in the end, he decided to partner up with Marnie Swindells to open a boxing gym in London instead.
Despite coming in second place, Rochelle’s business boomed after the show as clients started to travel up to four hours to get their hair done by her at The Dollshouse.
