'She'd been fainting for a week': Miranda Kerr's mother 'collapsed several times  before she was admitted to hospital for genetic heart arrhythmia'

By Jenna Good

Miranda Kerr's mother Theresa Kerr was said to have been admitted to hospital because of a 'genetic heart arrhythmia' last week.

However, the full extent of her recent health scare has now been revealed by her PA Caitlin Chrisholm, who says she had fainted a number of times in the days leading up to her recent stay at Royal North Shore Hospital.

Speaking about the 48-year-old's medical condition, which forced her to cancel her Divine product launch, Caitlin told New Idea: 'Therese was feeling bad and fainting for about a week, so she went to hospital.'

Speaking to the magazine ahead of Therese's recent release, she added: 'It's not serious and she'll be out of hospital very soon. She's normally as strong as an ox, but at the moment her family and everyone needs to be there for her.

'She's been getting tests done. It was just unfortunate timing that it's all happened now.'

 

On Saturday, after her three day stay in hospital, Therese appeared to be on the mend in pictures Miranda, 31, and her mother uploaded onto social media of their family making the most of the sunshine on Sydney Harbour.

She has her own PA. Didn't realise she was so important that the world needs updates on her and her families every move. Maybe her health would be more better if she stopped hogging the lime light and live a peaceful quite life. She is attracting negative press towards herself and demeaning her relationship with Miranda for the sake of screen time. I have a hard time feeling sorry for her. She is milking sympathy when there is no she should keep her life and health private unless she is trying to promote a cause. Which she isn't!

Doesn't her mum run a skincare company or something? So maybe she needs a PA for that...
