Kate Moss‘ arm is paralysed


Last week Kate Moss woke up at the Ritz hotel unable to move her right arm and hand in Paris. She immediately went to the hotel’s doctor where she got a second opinion. Now according to her friends the supermodel is suffering from a nerve disorder that has rendered her ‘temporarily paralysed’.

Kate now has to make a full recovery and disarrange her plans as the model is about to move into her ?7.25million new home in Highgate, North London, with husband Jamie Hince. The supermodel also plans a housewarming party, which has been now pushed back until she has fully recovered.

‘Kate was at the Ritz when she woke and had no feeling in her arm, which was terrifying,’ says a friend. ‘She saw the hotel’s doctor and when she came back, she got a second opinion.

‘She has told her friends she has ulnar nerve entrapment, a common disorder that can result in a temporary paralysis.’

As Kate plans to move into her luxury mansion – which has cardio machines, a marble wetroom and sauna as well as a huge Turkish steam bath with Jacuzzi – she may need an extra pair of hands to help with all the unpacking.

‘Jamie will do most of the unpacking as Kate has been in a lot of pain,’ says the friend. ‘She was told the condition could take months to heal. She has told all her friends about her hospital drama.’

A source close to the British model says: ‘Her hand is not paralysed or injured in any permanent way.’

But we don’t need to be worried about Kate Moss and her illness as it is a blow for her. Yesterday night she stumbled out of the Stella McCartney catwalk presentation wearing a short black STealla McCartney minidress that shows up her slim legs. Kate was accompanied by her husband Jamie Hince with how she had one of her trademark wild nights out after the show.
