REALITY TV star Chloe Meadows has said she was so “scared” of the doctors and the prospect of “having any procedure done” that she ignored symptoms of a chronic inflammatory bowel condition for around 10 years.

The former star of The Only Way Is Essex, 33, first discovered blood in her stool, a symptom of ulcerative colitis, when she was 16.

“I went to a college where I boarded when I was 16. I was staying away from home and I was living in a student house and there was blood down the toilet,” she told Dr Oscar Duke's Bedside Manners podcast.
