SHOCK! Pete Burns critically ill in hospital

Singer has kidney failure and diabetes

Pete Burns appeared on Celebrity Big Brother with Jody Marsh in 2006

Dead Or Alive singer Pete Burns is seriously ill in hospital.

The 49-year-old had emergency surgery for kidney failure last week.

Doctors discovered eight stones but were unable to remove them because of complications.

A statement on his website reads: ‘I’m in a very serious condition on 24 hours intravenous morphine for the pain and intravenous fluid as I’m so dehydrated and the kidneys can’t retain the liquid.

‘I also have diabetes insipidus which is pulling water from my lungs, liver, heart and brain.

'I’m critically ill and under 24 hours observation and will be in hospital for quite a long time.’
