The influencer revealed she was forced to get medical help as the family prepared to travel to Disney for a holiday.
She explained: “What is the absolute one thing you don’t need to happen the day before vou fly to Disney when you need to go shopping/pack/clean/do washing…oh that’s right, wake up with your lips so swollen you can’t speak and eyes swollen shut so you’re in A&E at 7am.
“One of the side effects of my gallstones and liver is severe hives all over my body every single morning that go away by bedtime then I wake up and it starts all over again.
“Something due to the toxins etc (still not considered urgent though, still been told need to wait a year + for an op).”
Sammy then shared a series of pictures of her very swollen face before she returned to her normal self.
Sammy and Ricky, who tied the knot in August 2016, have a daughter named Beatrix and a son, River.
Ricky, who is best known for playing Stuart Highway in EastEnders, has landed a number of impressive gigs since leaving the soap.
Ricky left EastEnders in 2022 after a “crazy” journey.
“In EastEnders I went from villain to hero to dad,” he told Digital Spy at the time of his exit.
He added: “It was amazing, doing that for five years with a character’s arc. It felt weird leaving him.”

Happily for fans, Ricky hasn’t ruled out a return to the soap someday, noting that anything is possible.
“He didn’t die. He rode off into the sunset. I think he’s somewhere in the North Circular living with Rainie,” he said of his character.
A year after leaving the soap, actor Ricky joined the West End play 2:22 A Ghost Story at the Apollo Theatre.
He has also bagged a guest role in the Netflix series The Decameron alongside Derry Girls actress Saoirse-Monica Jackson.
Ricky also plays Sergeant Daz Black in ITV police training comedy Piglets.
