Nick Cannon has been hospitalised with “mild kidney failure”.

The ‘America’s Got Talent’ host was taken to a hospital in Aspen, Colorado, today with abdominal pains and is now being treated by medical staff for the condition. Writing on her official website, Mariah revealed: “We’re trying to be as festive as possible under the circumstances but please keep Nick in your thoughts because this is very painful. They tried to kick me out of the hospital but here I am pon de bed with Mr. C. (sic)” “We’re doing OK but we’re stranded in Aspen. I know, we could be in a lot worse places, but the truth is as long as we’re together, we’re OK.”

She added: “I’m not trying to make light out of the situation because it’s a serious moment that’s very tough on all of us. So please keep us and our family in your prayers.”

At this time there is no word on what caused the kidney failure.
