However Kym, who is soon to become a grandmother after she revealed her daughter Emilie Cunliffe, 22, is pregnant with her first child, was forced to apologise for some of her son’s friends.

She wrote: “To anyone in this message thread that got a message from my @cunliffe890 he apologises as one of his friends took over his phone and made comments back that David is unhappy about. I apologise on his behalf.”

The former pop star also opened up about being rushed to hospital after being bed ridden “for days”.

Writing in her OK magazine column, she said: “I felt so awful I had to go to the Alexandra Hospital in Manchester. I was shaking, I felt terrible and like I’d been hit by a truck.

“They ran lots of tests on me and I’m still waiting for the results. Doctors think it could be Salmonella poisoning, which is really serious.”
