Liberty X singer has to wear heart monitor cos she's poorly.
Not-Well Heaton

Remember how humiliating it was when you'd be genuinely sick and your mum wouldn't keep you off school because she thought you were faking to get out of PE or something?

Now imagine what it might be like if you were a legitimately poorly popstar and your doctor thought it was all down to your 'lifestyle' - that's what happened to Michelle Liberty X.

'Chelle took herself to hospital in February because she'd been experiencing chest pains, only to find the doctors were a little unsympathetic. She told The Sun: "The doctor told me, 'Drugs cause palpitations.' I said, 'But I don't do drugs.'"

Fortunately after that, the docs took her problem slightly more seriously, and she's currently having to wear a heart monitor for a week so that they can keep a close eye on her condition.

She told the tab: "I may have to take medication or have heart surgery."

We hope the results bring good news, but in the meantime we'll just say: get well soon 'Chelle!
