Detailing her horrific experience, Louise - who is engaged to Ryan Libbey - told fans: "I felt something a bit wet in my pocket.

"I looked down and had the most horrendously debilitating stoma leak.

"I had to hobble to the nearest hospital which was a private one so a bit awkward.

"I was actually too overwhelmed to speak when we got to reception so thankfully Ryan - who I was with - handled it for me.

"I then literally waited locked in a bathroom for an hour sat on the loo, covered in mess, whilst they dug around to see if they had any stoma bags for any of their inpatients.

"I had to rip the one attached to my body off with no anti-adhesive spray which was really painful."

Louise, 35, had her entire large intestine removed after being diagnosed with ulcerative colitis.

She was fitted with a stoma bag following years of living with the condition, which causes the colon and rectum to become inflamed.

It came after she nearly lost her life during the birth of her son Leo in 2021, which left her with post-traumatic stress disorder.

Despite recently being on a positive track with her new normal, Louise suffered a major setback yesterday.

She continued: "I tried to pull myself together. I cleaned up in the sink.

"I then had to ask for scissors to cut this to the right size while my small intestine was free and active and handing out of a gaping hole in my stomach."

Despite being determined to carry on with her day, Louise admitted: "I caught sight of myself in the mirror and I just felt so f***ing sorry for myself and I burst into tears.

"I called Ryan and told him to come in and I just said I couldn't bloody do it anymore.

"I thought it would make for a good story but I just couldn't.

"Sometimes on a rare occasion I have a human reaction and I realise I'm not that strong and I need to be kind to so myself and just call it a day and look after myself and my mental health.

"Work often comes first but in this instance it was too much to push on. I can't everything.

"I've never considered a reversal more.

"But hey, then I might have crapped myself out of my bum and that would have been worse visually as people would know what that was.

"At least mess out of my hip just looks like I've spilled something."
