Former Big Brother housemate Luke Marsden has claimed that his girlfriend Rebecca Shiner may have swine flu.

Marsden revealed on his Twitter page that Bex has been admitted to hospital and that doctors don’t yet know whats wrong with her.

On Sunday he tweeted:

“They aren’t sure what’s wrong with her [but] they aren’t ruling out Swine Flu. We could be here all night.”

Later, he added: “Her temperature is going down so the nurses are pleased with that. Waiting for a doctor to give a diagnosis. Thanks for all your messages!”

Today he confirmed that doctors were “quite sure” that she had contracted the virus.

“She is better than yesterday but may have to go back to the hospital today,” he said. “Thanks for all your messages of support, I’m reading them all out to [her].”
