Pregnant television star Kerry Katona is being treated in hospital after it was feared that she may be suffering from the potentially fatal condition pre-eclampsia.
A spokesperson for the 27-year-old actress and singer has now said that her illness is not as serious as initially feared.
"In fact it was water retention and low iron levels, which brought on similar symptoms," her spokeswoman said.
"That is fantastic news. Mummy and baby are fine."
It is believed that Katona may be allowed home from hospital later today.
Earlier today Katona's publicist Max Clifford said that she was taken into hospital as a "precautionary measure".
"She's been in a lot of pain, particularly in the last few days," Clifford said.
"The symptoms she's showing are possibly that of pre-eclampsia."
The condition is considered dangerous to the health of the mother as well as her unborn baby.
Clifford said that Katona had been complaining of swollen feet and legs and pains going up her feet.
"She's still in hospital at the moment. She has been in increasing pain. She can hardly walk. She's had a pretty rough time. It's got worse and worse," he said.
Katona's baby, which she says is a boy, is due in May. This is her second child with husband Mark Croft.
She also has two daughters from her marriage to former Westlife star Brian McFadden.
