“Hey guys, a couple of days ago I hit my head and was concussed with brain swelling,” Deeble wrote to her followers.

“I’m fairly crook at the moment and have been to hospital a couple of times but slowly improving. I won’t be on social media a lot due to the fact I’m sleeping like 12 hours a day but wanted to let you all know I’m still here and am trying to get better as soon as possible.”

She thanked her fans for their support, adding, “also thanks mum for taking photos of me passed out.”
