Celine Dion hospitalised ahead of birth

Celine Dion has reportedly been admitted to hospital in preparation for the birth of her twin boys.

It is claimed that Dion was admitted early as a preventative measure to ensure that there are no issues with the pregnancy.

"Ms Celine Dion has been admitted to St Mary's Medical Centre in West Palm Beach, Florida for observation at the recommendation of her doctors," a statement from Dion's representative said. "She has been admitted to prevent the early delivery of her babies which is the standard of care for any patient with twin pregnancy in this clinical setting."

Dion's husband Rene Angelil recently denied that the singer was planning to deliver her babies via C-section.

St Mary's Medical Centre also released a statement which refuted rumours that the star had made a number of demands to the hospital.

People says that security at St Mary's has been increased in the wake of Dion's admission.
