NEW mum Megan McKenna has quit social media after her health diagnosis.
The new mum got engaged to her footballer fiancé Oliver Burke in June 2023, and the pair have since welcomed an adorable baby son, Landon.
But this week, the Towie favourite revealed she’s got mastitis, as she updated her legion of followers.
Megan, 32, wrote: “Boob update. I have mastitis but its gone passed that stage and has turned into an abscess.
“I’ve been so ill and out of bed the past two days. They tried to drain it today but it didn’t work so going back Monday to try and drain again.
“For now I’m on strong antibiotics.”
Announcing her temporary departure from social media, the mum-of-one continued: “Let’s hope it clears.
“Will be off socials for a few days as I’m resting and trying to get better. So annoying because I really felt like I was getting my mojo back with mum life and cooking and general plans.
“What can you do ey, Love you all xx.”
It comes after hinted at her next milestone with Oliver, as she told her legion of followers that she “wants to tone” ahead of their wedding.
The cooking fanatic posted a video of herself making some pasta and wrote: “Really need to get food in for Sunday roasts sooner wounded that we’re not having one tonight. Left overs it is!!!!!
“Also fyi. To clarify I’m not losing weight I want and need to tone and also I have a pouch belly from my c section scar. So time to get my booty in gear. Can’t wait!”
In the video, she could be heard saying: “I’m trying to be a bit healthy now, because our wedding is coming up.”
Megan said her friend will give her a regime ahead of her wedding as she said: “I know I’m slim but I’m not toned.”
The star also said she doesn’t need to lose weight and wouldn’t do a diet as she grated cheese onto spag bol.
The mum-of-one also spoke about having cellulite and fans praised her honesty, as one wrote: “You are such a breath of fresh air.. more influencers need to take a leaf out of your book.”
Just days before, Megan was forced to slam ‘pathetic’ trolls after she was ridiculed for ‘leaving her baby to sleep alone.’
The TV star scorned her critics and announced that she is refusing to respond to negative comments from fans.
The new mum was trying to encourage her son Landon to go to sleep on his own and has been sharing videos of their progress.
She said that she wanted him to sleep independently so she could be more productive during the day.
“He needs to be able to go down on his own for a nap, I need to be able to do some things during the day,” she told fans.
After lots of crying, her little one eventually went to sleep – with Megan excitedly exclaiming how proud she was.
Whilst she was met with sympathetic messages of reassurance, she was also criticised for leaving him to cry.
“How do you just watch him cry? Wanting you? Wanting to hug. If you can’t get things done that’s normal with a baby under 6 months. Get help,” one wrote.
“I’m sorry but this is so sad. Over 1 I get it. But this, this right here. I don’t get why people have kids just to let them cry out at months old,” they added.
A second wrote: “You need to educate yourself about how this affects a babies brain. This is not judgement…this is experience and knowledge talking.”
