A source told the Sun’s Bizarre column she was violently ill and in hospital for days after catching a bug following a romantic holiday in Antigua with Chris Clark.

They said: "Amber and Chris recently came back from Antigua but Amber had been really suffering and struggling to keep anything down.

"Production rushed her to hospital after seeing the state she was in during filming in Marbella and she was hospitalised for a few days, which was really worrying for Chris.

"Thankfully she's on the mend now but is having to take tablets everyday to keep the sickness at bay."

Chris and Amber holidayed in the Caribbean to rekindle their love.

And soon enough they were in Marbella and joined by other power couples Megan McKenna, 24, and Pete Wicks, 28, and Courtney Green, 22, and Myles Barnett, 23.

The Essex lot were seen out and about and displayed signs of affection, smooching for cameras.

Amber, 24, and Chris, 22, reunited following a split in October last year and went on a date with Little Mix’s Jesy Nelson.

But he and Amber got back together in April after ending his fling with the pop star.

Speaking about the relationship in May, the brother of castmate and former Love Island star Jon, said: "Our relationship came at a difficult time, though, because the band were touring America, so we mostly spoke on the phone.

"She was only in my life for about three months.

"I didn’t understand why she was interested in me – I’m just someone from Towie.

"I always felt like second best to Jesy. But that was my issue, not hers."
