Love Island’s Arabella Chi shares update after TV star mum is hospitalised as she posts emotional snap
ARABELLA Chi has praised her mum as the "strongest woman she knows" while she lies in hospital.
Eunice Stanforth, 68, underwent a 10 hour operation with her devoted daughter by her side during her recovery.
Posting a photograph of the pair holding hands as Eunice lays in a hospital bed, Arabella praised her mum and her strength as she recovers.
"The strongest woman I know. The credit you deserve for the strength you have after a 10 hour operation is unbelievable," Arabella wrote.
"Every day is a small progress but I have no doubt you will come out of this even strong. I love you mummy."
Neither Arabella nor Eunice have shared online why she was in hospital, but three weeks ago Eunice shared a photo with one of her nurses from the hospital bed having moved wards.

Arabella and Eunice both bear striking similarities with each other, with Eunice previously a model just like her daughter.
Eunice had her own brush with fame back in the 70s as a hostess on TV game show Sale of the Century, hosted by Nicholas Parsons.
She later launched Fashion Live Events, and was an avid supporter of Arabella during her time in the Love Island villa.
While romance didn't work out for Arabella from the ITV2 hit, she later tried again for Love Island All Stars in January.
