Pete Burns Pete Burns Former Celeb Big Brother star Pete Burns is critically ill.

The ex-Dead Or Alive singer underwent five hours of surgery after suffering kidney failure last week.

The 49-year-old has announced his condition on his website.

Pete is on a morphine drip after doctors were unable to remove eight kidney stones because of complications.

He said: "I'm in a very serious condition on 24 hours intravenous morphine for the pain.

"Intravenous fluid as I'm so dehydrated and the kidneys can't retain the liquid.

"I'm critically ill and under 24 hours observation and will be in hospital for quite a long time."

The singer, best known for his hit You Spin Me Round (Like A Record), appeared in the fourth series of CBB alongside Chantelle Houghton.

He is also in the middle of a £1m court case for alleged botched cosmetic surgery to his lips which left him "suicidal".

Get well soon Pete.
