Mariah Carey's husband Nick Cannon has been rushed to hospital again after doctors found two blood clots on his lungs and an enlarged right ventricle.
The America's Got Talent presenter, who was admitted into hospital earlier this year for mild kidney failure, has been receiving treatment since Friday (February 10).
While speaking on his 92.3 NOW-FM show, the presenter said: "I have been in the hospital since Friday, and actually, it's quite serious. I didn't even know. I was actually trying to downplay it a lot - even in my own mind - not go to the hospital because I was having a lot of pain in my back and I thought it was the typical kidney pain that I had been experiencing, but I thought it had been a little bit heightened...."
He also added: "Because of the blood clots in my lungs, I also had an enlarged ventricle in my heart. My antibodies [in] my immune system were attacking my organs and it made my body even weaker."
The father of two admitted that because he keeps himself in shape, he was able to battle the illness.
"My doctor was like, 'Luckily, you're in shape, because most people who get blood clots in their lungs can't breathe and they stop breathing, like, forever'," he said. "I didn't have that symptom of not being able to breathe. I mean it hurt; I had pain; when I took deep breaths it really hurt, and I told my doctors about this and they hooked me up and everything's good now."
Nick has now been warned he has to slow down his work rate - or it will "kill" him. Nick Cannon revealed that his hectic work schedule is to blame for his deteriorating health.
"My doctor was saying that my work is going to kill me - and he's not joking. I think part of the reason why my health did kind of deteriorate was because I wasn't resting a lot and I was doing too much. I was overworking myself, working out too much," he explained.
"I always took a lot of pride in working so hard and never taking a day off. But I'm learning that it isn't the wisest thing all the time, especially being a new father. Not only wanting to spend more time with my children, but wanting to be there for my children."
Meanwhile Mariah Carey has been mourning the loss of her good friend Whitney Houston.
"Heartbroken and in tears over the shocking death of my friend, the incomparable Ms. Whitney Houston," she tweeted upon hearing the news.
"My heartfelt condolences to Whitney's family and to all her millions of fans throughout the world. She will never be forgotten as one of the greatest voices to ever grace the earth."
