The 'Big Brother' star rushed her three-week-old daughter to hospital on Tuesday (02.03.21) for the third time after her temperature soared past 38 degrees and showed signs of infection.

She was discharged the following day after undergoing a series of tests, but will need to make more visits to the hospital this week.

Sharing a series of snaps of her newborn on Instagram, Kate wrote: "We had to take Noa back to hospital last night as her temperature went above 38. She showed signs of infection so they took blood and urine tests and she had to have a lumbar puncture.

"We had to stay overnight and this morning the doctors told me it's likely a viral infection. She responded well to antibiotics, her temperature, heart rate and oxygen were all back to normal by today. They switched the type of antibiotics and to once a day (still via her cannula) and we were told we can go home.

"We'll have final test results back in 48 hours. For now we just need to go back tomorrow and the next day so she can have the antibiotics administered like below. The paediatric team, doctors and nurses, yet again took great care of Noa and I can't thank them enough. (sic)"

The 41-year-old mum added that she would love to be bonding with her daughter at home in their "newborn bubble" and hopes it will be their last hospital trip.

She said: "I'd love to be enjoying this "newborn" bubble as everyone calls it but not sure how much more I can take. Noa has been so unlucky these first 3 weeks of her life but hopefully this is the last of our trips to A&E. (sic)"
