Charlotte Crosby has revealed her fiancé Jake Ankers was rushed to hospital on Monday night after suffering ‘severe chest pains’.
The Geordie Shore star, 35, had been enjoying a hotel break in Scotland with her husband-to-be and their daughters Alba, three, and Pixi, 13 months.
In a post on Instagram, Charlotte told her followers Jake had suffered a health scare the day before they were due to return home.
She said she’d endured a ‘scary’ 12 hours after Jake began to suffer with pains in his chest and ‘numbness in his arms,’ leading to him being taken to hospital in an ambulance.
Jake then posted an update sharing that tests had revealed he’d been diagnosed with blood clots, and he was discharged after being given a blood thinning injection and tablets.
Posting a snap of himself in hospital, Jake said the health scare was a ‘major wake-up call’ to slow down with his busy schedule.

Charlotte wrote: ‘I never ever expected our little Scottish trip to end like this but @jake_ankers was rushed to hospital late last night!
‘After having severe chest pains and arm numbness an ambulance came for him and he was kept in all night and all morning after elevated blood results!!!
‘We want to say a huge thank you to the @cameronhouselocklomond staff who basically went above and beyond to help is all in a really really really scary moment!
‘And carried on with the amazing customer service all today helping me pack up and get out of the hotel as I was on my own with the girls and all of our stuff!
‘Also a huge thank you to the amazing nurses, drs and paramedics! That did amazing for Jake the past 12 hours.’
Jake then posted: ‘Bit of an eventful 24 hrs!
‘Started to feel unwell yesterday and last night was getting really bad chest pains along with nausea and dizziness, Charlotte made me call and ambulance so I spent last night in a Scottish hospital and it turns out that my bloods came back indicating blood clots!
‘I’ve had a blood thinning injection and start tablets tomorrow but still need one more scan! A real big wake up call to take better care of my health…

Charlotte later updated her followers by sharing that they had returned home from Scotland with Jake set to undergo further scans
‘The paramedics that came out were absolutely brilliant along with the staff at Vale Of Leven hospital… I also must mention the hotel we stayed at Cameron House was helping me and ensuring I was as comfy as possible.
‘All work-related stuff will be dealt with at a slower pace this week as I need to recover properly and not do too much that will raise my blood pressure…
‘Anyone that has tried to get in touch please bare with me and the team and we will do our best to come back to you.’
In a later update, Charlotte revealed she and Jake had left hospital and returned home, writing: ‘All home now Jake’s got a lot of meds and some urgent referrals for scans back in England! Lots of rest is needed for him!
‘What a huge worry but amazing care from everyone in Scotland we couldn’t be more grateful.’
Last month, Charlotte shared that she has quit her self-titled reality show to chase ITV gigs.
The 35-year-old has had a number of her own reality programmes since shooting to fame on MTV’s Geordie Shore in 2011.
In March 2025, Geordie Stories: Charlotte’s New Baby was released, focusing on her second pregnancy with fiancé, Jake Ankers.
Then later that year, in November, Geordie Stories: Charlotte Mam of Two premiered on the streamer, following her life with daughters Alba Jean and Pixi Cecilia.
But after just four episodes, it’s not going to be returning anytime soon.
Charlotte said: ‘I won’t be continuing doing that one, not that exact show.
‘Whether or not I have another show about my life or following my wedding, that will happen at some point when I do decide to get married, but right now that show with Paramount is parked up.’
She continued to The Sun: ‘I think I really want to focus on doing some big shows this year and doing stuff on other channels.
‘I’d love to be on ITV a bit more and really dip my foot into some other opportunities.
‘I’ve got loads of ideas myself and that show took up a lot of my time. When I film that show it’s over seven or eight months of my life.
‘I think I just need to make some room for some new and exciting opportunities.’
