Gaz Beadle’s fiancé Emma McVey reveals she has three holes in her heart

Geordie Shore star Gaz Beadle’s fiancé Emma McVey has been diagnosed with three holes in her heart.

The mother-of-two, 28, is set to undergo surgery and admits she’s struggled to accept she has the condition.

Sharing a picture of herself cradling the children she shares with her reality star beau on Instagram on Tuesday, Emma wrote: ‘Long story short, we’ve finally found out I have three large holes in my heart and damaged tissue which is causing my blood to pass through the wrong direction…

‘The right side of my heart is now enlarged and weak, along with high blood pressure in my lungs.

‘This has all got a lot worse as they should of been closed when I was a child, unfortunately no one checked my heart even when I had seizures and diagnosed with epilepsy or fainted like it was a hobby.

‘I definitely shouldn’t of carried babies whilst they were there. They are baffled how I actually made it through birth with Primrose and if it wasn’t a cesarean it could of been a very different story.

‘Now I’m waiting for open heart surgery as the holes just can’t be closed with device closure.’

Explaining how anxious she is about going under the knife, Emma added: ‘I’ve been a lot quieter, sometimes snappy and very anxious, But this is the reason why, because everyday I worry about my babies, and randomly cry thinking what if I go in and they don’t see them again?!

‘Especially with everything going on at the moment. Morbid and crazy I know, but it just goes to show you have no idea what people are actually going through and social media really does not show you even half of someone’s life.’

Emma and Gaz, 33, share children Chester, three, and Primrose, one, and they live together in Yorkshire.

Replying to Emma’s post in the comments on Instagram, Gaz wrote: ‘U will power through it as u always do… you are the strongest person I know… (sic)

‘Me and the kids will be by your side the whole time… I can’t guarantee the house will be in 1 piece when u get out of hospital but I’ll try (sic).’

Emma appeared in good spirits last month when she shared a sweet message for Gaz on Father’s Day.

Taking to Instagram to post some adorable pictures of the doting dad with his offspring, she wrote: ‘Happy Daddy’s day @gazbeadle. You are the perfect daddy to our babies.’

Gary could be seen undertaking a variety of parental activities, including feeding the ducks with daughter Primrose and holding son Chester in his arms as they watched the snow fall outside.
