Peter Andre has meningitis

Peter Andre has been told by doctors that he is suffering from meningitis.

The I'm A Celebrity star was admitted to hospital last weekend but a series of tests failed to find anything wrong until he was diagnosed with viral meningitis yesterday. The condition is less dangerous than bacterial meningitis, which has a high risk of causing death if left untreated.

Andre's wife Katie Price visited him in hospital last night, arriving with a camera crew. She told reporters: "No comment, not unless you give me £1 million."

A friend of the couple told The Sun: "Jordan has been sick with worry, but at least now they know what it is. Peter fell ill in the US, where they were doing promotion work for their fly-on-the-wall TV show. He flew home and took to his bed. On Saturday he collapsed and Jordan rang 999.

"Peter was weak as a kitten and was put on a drip. He felt better on Sunday and left, but relapsed and had to go back. He should be home in four or five days."
