Pearl Thusi doing better after hospital scare

Johannesburg- TV and radio personality Pearl Thusi is doing better after being hospitalised during the early hours of Thursday morning. 

Pearl had fans in a state of worry after she shared a series of videos, of herself in a hospital bed with a drip in her arm to Snapchat. One of the videos also showed Pearl being wheeled in for blood tests and other check-ups. 

Confirming the unfortunate news to The Juice , Pearl's manager, Sarit Tomlinson explained that she was rushed to hospital but is doing a little better now.

"Pearl was rushed to hospital this morning as she was suffering from severe migraines for the last few days. Doctors put her on a drip and gave her some medication to help with the pain and she is doing a little better," Sarit said. 

Sarit added that doctors have advised Pearl to have eye tests done, as well as a check up with the dentist for her wisdom teeth, which could be the cause of the migraines. 

"It's also been a rough week for Pearl and doctors have ordered her to take some bed rest," Sarit said. 

The news comes just days after Pearl was announced as the host of MTV's Lip Sync Battle Africa, and the SABC confirmed that her radio future with the broadcaster hangs in the balance. (Read more on that here
