Gemma Collins cancelled her appearance at a nightclub in Sheffield after contracting cystitis.
The ‘TOWIE’ star was due to entertain students at Plug on Thursday (16.11.17) but had to pull out after being told to get some bed rest by her doctor after coming down with the water infection.
Gemma, 36, broke the news to her fans in an Instagram video which she recorded after switching on Freeport’s Christmas lights in Essex.
Alongside the clip, Gemma wrote: "Lovely to meet you all this evening was a blast but sadly I won’t be making Sheffield tonight.
"I didn’t want to let anyone down doctors orders bed and rest for me I have a water infection guys I’m so sorry I don’t want to let anyone down but I have to rest xxx love you all."
Organised Chaos – who planned for the event – issued a statement to The Tab Sheffield which read: "We are extremely sorry for the disappointment this may cause, but it is totally out of the control of OC and Plug."
Gemma got a lot of get well soon messages from her followers but many students were angry about her last minute cancellation, with some travelling from Manchester for her PA, like ‘The GC’ super-fan Eden Cady-Mckellar.
Eden told The Tab: "I trekked all the way to Sheffield from Manchester to see my babe Gemma and was absolutely buzzing. "But when she cancelled I felt like she just dropped me like that stage did to her."
Gemma did post a second video to Instagram in which she promised to make it up to her Sheffield fans.
‘The Only Way Is Essex’ veteran said in the footage: "I just wanted to say I’m really sorry I can’t make Sheffield tonight, I so would love to be there but doctors orders are to stay in bed. I’ve got a water infection so I’m not feeling that great and didn’t want to let anyone down at Freeport tonight, I know there was a lot of young children there. I’m not well but I’ll be back soon. I love you all dearly."
