Lydia HearstNew York socialite and model Lydia Hearst has been hospitalised with kidney stones - but is expected to be back on her feet in time to take part in a fashion show later today.

The socialite was taken to New York Presbyterian Hospital on Tuesday in severe pain and updating her Facebok status from her hospital bed, she wrote on Tuesday “Today may be the worst day of my life”, followed on Wednesday by: Another day, another drama. Kidney stones are the worst.”

Her spokesperson confirmed the hospitalisation yesterday, saying: “She has a problem where she gets kidney stones which are incredibly painful but not a health risk.

“She went into the emergency room yesterday (Tuesday) and they kept her overnight.”

Lydia is expected to take part in Tommy Hilfiger’s catwalk show this evening. New York Fashion Week comes to a close tomorrow, with London’s own Fashion Week starting on Sunday.
