Nick Knowles' wife 'terrified' as she's rushed to hospital in 'crippling pain'

Nick Knowles’ wife Katie Dadzie has revealed she was rushed to hospital yesterday (September 27) after suffering from crippling pain following her hysterectomy. The lingerie business owner underwent the procedure back in July after years of pain thanks to PCOS and endometriosis.

However, she faced a setback in her recovery when she had to be taken to hospital as she took to Instagram to reveal the terrifying news. In a lengthy caption, she wrote: “The bit where they took my cervix and sealed it up ruptured which basically meant my insides went rogue, with crippling abdominal pains, difficulty breathing, incredibly painful gas, blood like Moses parting the Red Sea, fluid, and even my bowel where it definitely didn't belong.

“Saturday when it happened I was in so much pain I couldn't move or walk and just cried on my own on the kitchen from 2-5.30am. I nearly passed out from the pain.

“Bar the exhaustion and menopause bit, the recovery was finally going well. I was pretty much back to normal - although I started working the day after my hysterectomy, so that clearly didn't help.

“I was rushed in for emergency surgery. I thought it would be lots of waiting round, but they did blood tests, a CT scan, and had me up & ready for surgery in under 10 hours.”

She continued: “There was talk of my bowel having been perforated, having to have open surgery & another lumbar puncture. I had every situation running through my mind and it was terrifying.

“They had 3 plans for surgery, and two of them were huge. A team of 6 surgeons and 2 anaesthetists looked after me, and made me feel slightly more at ease, during what was the most painful & terrifying day I've ever had.

“Thankfully the surgeons managed to get me back into theatre, fix everything and stitch me back together.

“I'm very sore, bruised & exhausted, & so gutted that my recovery journey starts all over again now. But thankful it's fixed, because the pain on Saturday night was excruciating!”

After her operation in July, Katie posted video clips showing herself in hospital, wearing a hospital gown, and laying in a hospital bed. The footage showed various bandages on her abdomen, where surgeon entered her body to remove her uterus.

In a candid and personal statement alongside the video clips, Katie shared her story, writing: "I’m 35 and I’ve just had a hysterectomy." Giving more detail, she continued: "I’ve lived with pcos, endometriosis and adenomyosis since Moses wore short pants.

She added: "And no, it wasn’t 'just a bad period.' It was constant hospital trips. Multiple laparoscopies. Bleeding through clothes. Vomiting from the pain. Being curled up in bed, missing out on life."

Nick and Katie tied the knot in a lavish six-figure ceremony in Braxted Park, Essex in June this year. The pair opted for non-traditional looks as she wore a gown with blue flower details and the DIY SOS star opted for a salmon pink tuxedo jacket.

Nick got down on one knee two years ago when the pair were in New Orleans together. Ahead of the wedding, Katie celebrated her last time being single as she headed out on a hen-do with her nearest and dearest.
