A woman prescribed an 'miracle acne cure' drug with a host of dangerous side effects was hospitalised after the chemical concoction left her suffering acute pancreatitis. Stephanie Spencer, a Queensland university student, developed the severe condition just six weeks after being prescribed Roaccutane, a drug linked with five suicides in the last five years in Australia, reported. The 21-year-old started her course in November following a recommendation from her dermatologist, who said her acne would disappear after six months on the drug. Ms Spencer said her dosage was not altered after returning abnormal blood test results, and she was instead told to sign up for the gym because she was at risk of a heart attack But when the painkillers wore off, she knew something was seriously wrong. 'I was in so much pain that I couldn't move and I started vomiting up blood,' she said. Soon after, she was rushed to Ipswich Hospital where she was told she had pancreatitis because of Roaccutane. 'They put me on a drip when I was at the hospital and I wasn't allowed to eat for 3-4 days.' First Video compilation of the weird and wonderful things that happen to me on my days riding!

They famously dated in the early Nineties - and Danniella Westbrook and former East 17 frontman Brian Harvey have reunited to deliver a petition to Downing Street. The pair are campaigning against child abuse, with Brian, 41, posting a rap to YouTube called Invisible, in order to raise awareness about the plight of the young. Danniella, also 41, posted the video to her Twitter page, writing, 'Brian Harvey - Invisible (video) Can every1 RT this video Please. Because ABUSING CHILDREN IS WRONG. Letting off Steam: The singer appeared to be feeling quite passionate as he stood outside the venue East 17 were seen as the edgier alternative to Take That in the Nineties, and brought out five studio albums, three compilation albums and eighteen singles before they split in 1997. However, Brian was sacked from the band after making comments in a radio interview which appeared to condone the use of the drug ecstasy. It's not the first time that Brian has requested an audience with the Prime Minister David Cameron. In October last year, the singer demanded an impromptu chat and was initially seen arguing with police at the Occupy Democracy protest on London's Parliament Square. An onlooker tweeted of the star, who was seen holding a white folder: ‘He was shouting that the binder was 'evidence' of how much money the government had stolen from him #brianharvey. Passionate: It's not the first time Brian has tried to get the attention of the Prime Minister - he famously demanded he be seen as he believes the government has stolen money from him - but he wasn't seen ‘He then (oddly) kept shouting 'you’ll all be dancing to my no.1 single at Christmas'.’ Brian also raised eyebrows when he expressed his disdain for the music industry in January, by posting a YouTube video of himself smashing up his platinum records. Turning to the camera, he says: 'East 17, one million sales, this is what it f***ing means.' He then bashes the records against a bin down an alleyway. He then adds: 'That's what I think of your f***ing music industry.' Meanwhile, troubled Danniella is preparing to make a TV comeback on Hollyoaks later this year. Danniella will return to the soap playing Trudy Ryan, after originally playing Trudy for 16 episodes during the run-up to Jacqui McQueen's departure before leaving the show in 2013. The television star's comeback follows a year of turmoil, which saw her lose her family home and return to rehab for drug addiction. MailOnline has contacted a representative for Danniella Westbrook for further information.
