Patrick Kielty may be away from his Late Late Show hosting duties for the summer, but that doesn’t mean he’s somehow enjoying his summer thanks to his new health battle.
Yes, his wife Cat Deeley has revealed that the presenter is sadly suffering from a case of shingles after initially misdiagnosing himself with an injury as a result of his home renovations.
Speaking about shingles with her co-star Ben Shephard on This Morning, Cat shared how Patrick initially had “no idea” he had contracted the infection and at first thought he had gotten fiberglass in his face after doing some shingles work. construction in the house. .
“He thought he touched his face,” she said, referring to Patrick and the fiberglass.
“It had a burning, tingling, stinging sensation, so that’s what he thought it was.”
Turns out Patrick wasn’t imagining things, he was imagining the wrong things…if that makes sense.
Next, Dr. Sara Kayat explained the symptoms you should pay attention to if you think you might be suffering from something similar.
“First of all, you tend to have a tingling and burning sensation. You may also notice that he feels more fatigued: his head hurts and he is tired.
“You might even have a little temperature,” he added.
“A few days later, you may begin to develop a blotchy rash and then turn into fluid-filled blisters, which begin to scab over and peel off.”
Dr. Sara went on to say that a rash can appear anywhere on the body, so be sure to keep an eye out.
Poor Patrick! We wish you a speedy recovery.
