Taking to Instagram on Tuesday night, the former Corrie star, who played Katy Harris in the hit ITV soap, shared a photo of her in a h0spital bed.
“Not my usual post,” Lucy-Jo penned in the caption.
She then said: “But with it being National Bl00d Week I wanted to share something with you.”
Opening up about her h0spital dash, Lucy-Jo explained: “2 years ago I was rushed into A&E.
“I was constantly exhausted, running on empty, struggling to breath, low mood, really struggling in my overall mental and physical health, and I just put it down to the fast pace of life.
“Because in today’s world you’re expected to be able to juggle it all right?
“And the daily stresses of being a working mum, and spinning a million plates is blumming stressful…..”
She then added: “But what I didn’t realise is that the reason I was feeling all of this is because I had an underlying health issue…. Chronic Anaemia.”
Lucy-Jo then revealed that this meant she was “in desperate need of a bl00d tr@nsfusion”.
Going into even more detail, she said: “It turned out that my haemoglobin levels were that dangerously low I needed 2 tr@nsfusions and I was kept in h0spital for a few days so they could keep on eye on my levels.”
Hollyoaks star Lucy-Jo Hudson stunned as she lands new acting job
Speaking about the medical team that treated her, Lucy praised the staff at Salford Royal H0spital and gushed over how “amazing” they were.
“I really felt I was in the best hands, especially Dr Rob Jackson, he was unbelievable and I’ll always be so grateful to him and his team in the A&E department,” she said.
Lucy-Jo then thanked everyone who donates bl00d, saying: “I know from the NHS that just one of your donations can save up to 3 lives…. Mine included.”
She went on: “Bl00d donations save lives every day, they are needed in em3rgencies, during operations, childbirth, in the treatment of c@ncer and sickle cell disease, the list is endless.
What is Anaemia?
According to the NHS, Anaemia is a common condition “where the number of red bl00d cells or the amount of haemoglobin in red bl00d cells is less than normal”.

“So this is a thank you to those selflessly giving bl00d that helped me and thousands of other people who
really needed it.”

Another said: “Holy hell!! So glad you’re ok now Lucy. And this is an amazing post!”
