Glamour girl Jordan’s husband was ill for two weeks before being diagnosed with the serious brain bug.
The pregnant model, 28, was spotted yesterday slipping through a hospital’s staff entrance as she dashed to Peter’s bedside.
She has been visiting him daily since he was admitted last weekend.
The Sun revealed yesterday that doctors had given Peter, 34, a brain scan — but it failed to find a problem.
Eventually a lumbar puncture at East Surrey Hospital in Redhill, showed he had viral meningitis. It is less dangerous than bacterial meningitis, which can kill.
A close friend of the couple said: “Jordan has been sick with worry, but at least now they know what it is. Peter fell ill in the US, where they were doing promotion work for their fly-on-the-wall TV show. He flew home and took to his bed. On Saturday he collapsed and Jordan rang 999.
“Peter was weak as a kitten and was put on a drip. He felt better on Sunday and left, but relapsed and had to go back. He should be home in four or five days.”
Meningitis is an infection in fluid surrounding the brain and spinal cord.
The NHS hospital said the singer’s condition was stable. Peter, whose hits include Mysterious Girl, met Jordan on I’m A Celebrity Get Me Out of Here. They wed in 2005.
SUN Doctor Carol Cooper said: “Viral meningitis is pretty unpleasant. There’s no specific treatment. Painkillers, fluids and rest are needed.
“Peter must take it very easy. Extreme tiredness, headaches and depression can continue for weeks.”
