Reality TV star Kate Ferdinand was forced to abandon a wedding and rush to her father’s bedside after he suffered a dramatic health scare.
The stunning wife of footie ace Rio Ferdinand is said to have left her children at a closed friends wedding so she could be with her dad after an emergency call sent him to hospital.
Her electrician father Phil, 61, who is understood to be making a full recovery, has had a rocky relationship with his daughter since she was just a child.
Kate has admitted she was “very upset” when she wasn’t invited to one of her dad’s weddings at the tender age of nine.

Essex native Phil has defended his relationship with his daughter and insisted he wasn’t allowed to invite Kate to one of his weddings, which took place nearly two decades ago.
