But last night she posted, ‘I can leave tonight’, meaning that at least she wouldn’t be in hospital while he was presenting music’s big night.
Roxy, who has been loved-up with the comedian since last year, is being treated for an autoimmune disease.
While in hospital she put on a brave face for a selfie that she captioned: ‘Ever stare life right in the face like really??
‘Currently sitting in hospital not knowing to laugh or cry every 5 mins but I’m going to choose to try and laugh because life is too damn short.’
She added: ‘Screw autoimmune diseases though!’
