Louise Thompson has asked fans to 'please be kind' as she shared a video of herself showing her stoma bag for the first time. The former Made in Chelsea star had a rough start to the year in which she endured two stays in hospital - one being around 17 days long.
Early last month, Louise's fiancé Ryan Libby confirmed she was back in hospital after a previous 17-day stay. On February 12, Louise broke her silence about her lengthy stint, saying she had pushed through to enjoy a family holiday in Antigua. She said she knew she was 'really sick' and couldn't pretend she was okay any longer.

She said she had to have 'surgical intervention'.
