JACK Whitehall’s girlfriend Roxy Horner has said that she is “angry, frightened, and sad” after being diagnosed with an autoimmune disease.
The 29-year-old model was rushed to hospital on Sunday, where she stayed for two nights before joining 32-year-old Jack at the Brits on Tuesday evening – just hours after she was discharged.
Taking to her Instagram page, Roxy has now admitted that she is “proud” of herself following the health scare.
Sharing a glam selfie, the beauty told followers: “Tonight is my first night alone living with my new way of life.
“I can’t stop researching my auto immune disease, every bit of pain or sickness I feel, I worry. I feel like I can’t quite get the hang go it, I’m angry, I’m frightened and I’m sad but I’m also so proud of myself for trying so hard.”
She added: “Covid please go away so I can be with my family.”
On Monday the blonde beauty opened up about her hospital dash as she posted from her bed, wearing a medical gown and with a cannula in her arm.
She captioned the snap: “Guess I’m here another night.”
Roxy explained: “Currently sitting in hospital not knowing to laugh or cry every 5 mins but I’m going to choose to try and laugh because life is too damn short.
“Screw autoimmune diseases though!”
The star has not revealed what type of autoimmune disease she is battling, but they can cause either low or over activity of the immune system.
This means that the body confuses skin, joints, or organs as bacteria or viruses – and attacks healthy cells.
Essex-born Roxy and Jack have been dating since early 2020 after meeting while the comedian was on a trip to Australia – and they ended up isolating together in his London home.

His most serious relationship was with actress Gemma Chan – they broke up in 2017 after 6 years of dating due to their busy schedules.
