Holly said her condition was so serious that doctors were considering dialysis and even a kidney transplant.

“It's been a scary time of not knowing what this means. I understand my diabetes and I was having a lot of diabetes fatigue and diabetes-related depression. Now adding this renal failure on top of that and not understanding what that meant.”

The singer, who is recovering from surgery severe anaemia, and high blood pressure said it has been difficult because she started feeling that people might be thinking that she was faking being sick after being sick for a long time. She added:

"It's been a tough journey. Anyone who lives with a chronic illness will know how difficult it is. You start to feel like people think you’re making things up because you are always sick. I haven’t been able to speak about it without crying until recently."
