It's been on the news everytime I've turned the ruddy tele on How about showing coverage of kids with malaria who can't get the funding for basic care let alone the luxury of a penthouse in a private hospital. She could put this PR exercise to good use if  she stopped fluttering her fake lashes for 5 minutes. Saying that though, hope she gets better soon and all that gubbins.

I agree with you... ffs this is a talentless bint who is far too skinny and really has got by on the pathetic idol worship of a few tabloids.
I am very sorry she is ill and of course I wish her well as it is a horrible disease but as you say Karma, why the hell is it making news.???

Taken from websites about malaria:


The World Health Organization estimates that in 2008, 190 - 311 million clinical cases of malaria occurred, and 708,000 - 1,003,000 people died of malaria, most of them children in Africa.


Approximately 1,500 travellers return to the UK with malaria every year. In 2008, there were 1,370 cases of malaria reported and six deaths in the UK.


Do people who get malarie have it for the rest of their lives?

No, not necessarily. Malaria can be treated. If the right drugs are used, people who have malaria can be cured and all the malaria parasites can be cleared from their body. However, the disease can continue if it is not treated or if it is treated with the wrong drug. Some drugs are not effective because the parasite is resistant to them. Some people with malaria may be treated with the right drug, but at the wrong dose or for too short a period of time.

Two types (species) of parasites, Plasmodium vivax and P. ovale, have liver stages and can remain in the body for years without causing sickness. If not treated, these liver stages may reactivate and cause malaria attacks ("relapses") after months or years without symptoms. People diagnosed with P. vivax or P. ovale are often given a second drug to help prevent these relapses. Another type of malaria, P. malariae, if not treated, has been known to stay in the blood of some people for several decades.

However, in general, if you are correctly treated for malaria, the parasites are eliminated and you are no longer infected with malaria.

Jesus, Malaria is nothing to be laughed at & moreover I don't think we can lay the lack of world support for Malaria sufferers at Cheryl Coles/Tweedy's door.
I'm not laying any lack of 'world' support at her door? WTF?! I said she could use this PR exercise (cos she didn't have to tell the press what was going on) - in a supportive way by highlighting the disease and how it not only is affecting her, but also those who are not in such a privileged position to be able to afford 24 hour care. She's in a high-profile position and could do some good with what's happened NOT THAT I'M LAUGHING AT MALARIA IN ANY WAY.
