Jordan's joy as Pete goes home
GLAMOUR girl Kate Price was over the moon last night after brain bug stricken hubby Peter Andre came home from hospital.
Singer Pete, 34, was discharged from East Surrey Hospital yesterday morning to return to their mansion.
Peter had been in hospital since April 22 battling viral meningitis.
He complained of feeling unwell with what he thought was a stomach bug during a promotional trip to Los Angeles with sexy Kate, 28, for their TV show.
Hunky Pete spent a week in bed after returning to their £2.5million home in Ockley, Surrey. He was unable to eat and was so frail he couldn’t stand up.
When his condition worsened frantic Kate dialled 999 and he was taken to the NHS hospital in Redhill, Surrey – but he was discharged the next day, only to return the following night after taking a turn for the worse.
Doctors ran a barrage of tests and discovered he was suffering from viral meningitis, which is dangerous but not as severe as the bacterial variety.
Symptoms include head-aches, extreme tiredness and depression.
Peter’s parents flew in from Cyprus to be at their son’s bedside and support terrified Kate.
A spokesman for Peter said yesterday: “He has been allowed to come home to recover and carry on with his medication.
“He needs to be left alone with his family but hopefully he’s over the worst.”
Pals feared for heavily-pregnant Kate – alias Jordan – and the strain that the crisis could take on her health.
Medics told her she could not kiss or touch Pete because she and her unborn baby were at risk of infection. But gutsy Kate kept a bedside vigil.
A cruel hoaxer even spread the false tale that Peter had died and within hours the couple’s official website was swamped by concerned fans.
A source close to the couple said: “It’s such a relief for Kate now Pete’s back home. She was frantic with worry.”
