The English reality TV star Jo Cooke, who is famous for the Curvy Brides’ Boutique show that featured on the TLC channel, was the talk of the town due to her drastic change in her weight.
The famous personality, alongside her friend, Alison Law, has been an inspiration and encouraging character for the plus size and all-size women in and around the country.
Therefore, the rising concerns for her health were an ongoing topic due to her immense weight loss.
Jo Was in the Hospital for a Long Time
In February 2023, the reality TV star posted a picture after being MIA for four months. The photo worried fans because it was from the hospital. She penned in the caption that fans might have thought she looked slightly different to how she looked the last time they saw her.
The star added that the last few months were not kind to her. She had spent almost three months in the hospital since living it up in Portugal in October.
Cooke continued, ” It was touch a go for a while and after almost dying on more than one occasion, a very long road lies ahead to get back to “normal”.”
She answered her fans about her whereabouts and thanked her friends and families for being by her side through it all. Although she didn’t reveal in the caption why she was hospitalized, while replying to one of the comments, she divulged she had Necrotising Pancreatitis.
According to Stanford Health Care, patients with pancreatitis often lose immense weight, even when their appetite and eating habits are normal. Weight loss occurs because enough pancreatic enzymes required to digest food are not secreted enough, leading to nutrients not getting absorbed normally.
So, could it be it was the reason behind her drastic loss in weight? Well, it’ll only be known once she reveals herself.
