Strictly's Montell Douglas issues warning after hospital dash in health battle


Strictly Come Dancing star Montell Douglas was previously rushed to hospital after her period pain became so severe that she started convulsing and had to call an ambulance

But despite her impressive athletic form, at 38, Montell faces a daunting battle against severe period pains that have landed her in hospital. Her debilitating condition brings her life to a grinding halt every month, despite being prescribed medication designed to kick in early and keep the agony at bay.
