Suki Waterhouse was hospitalised from wearing pants that were 'too tight'
Suki Waterhouse has revealed she suffered a hernia because her pants were 'so tight'. The 33-year-old singer and actress took to social media with the health news after fans requested she post more messages on X. In response the My Fun hitmaker revealed she was hospitalised six months ago following a clothing faux pas she had been 'too scared' to tell her 165,000 followers. Suki wrote on X: ''suki you never tweet anymore' have you ever considered I wore pants so tight 6 months ago it caused a hernia and I've been too scared to tell you (sic).' The Daisy Jones and the Six star followed her post up with a picture of her in a hospital bed, showing her wearing a gown with a vape balanced on her chest. While some thought the vape was an odd choice of accessory for a hospital, others struck up conversation with the star. Fan @shortnskeetz commented: 'hey I gave my dad a hernia once x (sic).' Suki responded: 'well done!!' And the shocked supporter clarified: 'oh um hi xx i didnt give it to him intentionally btw I was like 7.' Suki's medical update comes just over a year after she gave birth to her first child with her fiance Robert Pattinson. As per the NHS, a hernia occurs when an internal part of the body pushes through a weakness in the muscle or surrounding tissue wall. A hernia usually develops between your chest and hips. In many cases, it causes no or very few symptoms, although you may notice a swelling or lump in your tummy (abdomen) or groin. The lump can often be pushed back in or disappears when you lie down. Coughing or straining may make the lump appear. Once a diagnosis has been confirmed, a GP or hospital doctor will determine whether surgery to repair the hernia is necessary. A month later, the star confirmed she had given birth, sharing a polaroid in which she cradled the baby, positioned so her hand covered the child's face. She wrote: 'welcome to the world angel [heart emoji] (sic)' Suki later confirmed she had welcomed a baby girl, and said she felt 'very lucky' to have an 'amazing little lady' in her life. Speaking live on stage during her Coachella set last year, she said: 'I don't know if some of you know, but I had some big life changes happen recently, some pretty big events have been going down. 'I love amazing ladies and I've been very lucky to have my own little amazing lady and meet the love of my life.' The couple, who were first linked in 2018, are yet to reveal their little one's name. In a British Vogue cover star interview last year, Suki revealed she and Robert met at a Hollywood games night also attended by the likes of Al Pacino, in which they played Traitors-esque party game Werewolf. More Trending 'I think we both sort of have the same slight uncomfortable-ness,' revealed Suki, explaining how they bonded over giggling during the game, so they got told off and had to be separated. After half a year they bumped into each other again and she remembered thinking Robert was 'quite funny' and that she 'lights up' around him. Suki said her song Memoir from her album Memoir of a Sparklemuffin – out on 13 September – is about getting what she always wanted in her family and finding the one. 'This love and having a family and having a little world,' she said. 'Whatever happens, this is my dream.' Got a story?

'I watched the American rip-off of The Traitors and it made me mad'
It feels like the on-sale version of The Traitors. The stakes aren't that high, the tasks not as intense, and the contestants don't seem to want to be there. If you live in the UK or are even the remotest fan of British television, chances are you've heard of The Traitors. It's the show where contestants arrive at a castle, a few of them are branded as traitors, and then they all spend several weeks competing in tasks and adding money to the prize pot, but most importantly, the traitors spend their time lying, deceiving, recruiting, and (figuratively) killing the other contestants, known as the Faithfuls - all while trying to keep their identities a secret. Hosted by Queen of the Macabre, Claudia Winkleman, The Traitors is a dramatic slice of top-tier reality TV and few other reality game shows come close. I know this because I recently binge-watched what could loosely be dubbed the American version of The Traitors. I say loosely, because there's actually an official US version of The Traitors. No. This is a story about Million Dollar Secret. Netflix's feeble attempt at a Traitors-esque reality game show - which on all accounts - falls flat. The concept is the same. Contestants arrive at a château called The Stag, one of them is secretly chosen to be the millionaire and given a box with cold, hard cash, and then said contestant has to spend the entirety of the show keeping their identity a secret from the other players while they all compete in tasks and receive various advantages. As with The Traitors, the millionaire can change and also be caught and voted out. This is aided by the show's ever-helpful producers who give out clues so pointed and obvious, they may as well label the secret millionaire and draw a neon arrow on their clothes. Hosted in a rather sombre fashion by English actor and comedian Peter Serafinowicz, Million Dollar Secret feels like the on-sale version of The Traitors. The stakes just don't seem that high. The tasks don't feel that intense. And the contestants - well, they just don't seem like they're all that interested in participating in a reality game show. Half-hearted attempts at tasks that aren't too exciting to begin with (Remembering a few symbols and inputting them in a padlock? Slingshotting colour-filled balloons at a wall? Dropping song titles in conversation? Hugging everyone?) If this isn't enough to turn you off, it appears that none of the players actually want to be the secret millionaire in the first place. Every time a new millionaire is chosen, contestants confess to the camera just how badly they don't want to be burdened with the role. Everyone wants the cash handed to them towards the end, when the numbers have dwindled and the task of keeping one's identity a secret is much easier. Where's the fun in that? My biggest pet-peeve with Million Dollar Secret is how personally the contestants take the lying. It seems that no one read the rules of the game before appearing on the show, because how can you be mad at the millionaire for lying and keeping their identity a secret? It is literally the purpose of the game. This transparently shameless rip-off of The Traitors may have copied the format of the show, but it wasn't able to emulate the intense, gripping excitement, and quite frankly, the brains, of its British counterpart. And critics and audiences couldn't agree more. While one critic review said, "Million Dollar Secret is transparently, baldly, shamelessly The Traitors", another called it "a lazy, one-note ripoff of The Traitors". An X user (formerly Twitter) commented: "Million Dollar Secret on Netflix wants to be Traitors soooooo bad" and another wrote, "Million Dollar Secret is a very poor man's Traitors. Also, it's so badly one-sided against the person who has it with badly done games and clues."
