The 49-year-old told her Loose Women co-stars how she woke up in the middle of the night in severe pain after a normal day.
She explained: “I recognized it because I had a brief encounter with it two weeks before so I had the feeling that these were the kidneys. I had that feeling. It’s worse than labour, it’s immediately exhausting.”
The star said she knew it was serious and had to wake her 12-year-old son for help.
She continued: “I ended up having to wake up one of my children, I felt really bad but I thought, I just can’t, this is an emergency. So I crawled up the stairs on my hands and knees and woke him up.
“I said, ‘Mommy just needs your help, I need you to really grow up and I need your help.’ Then he said, ‘Okay, what do I need to do?'”
The boy called his father, asking him to call 911 for Kéllé.
After she was rushed to the hospital, it turned out that the singer had a kidney stone in her urethra.
Doctors quickly treated the mother of two children and took her to emergency surgery.
Despite living a moderately healthy lifestyle, Kéllé said her overeating played a fear factor.
She said: “I overeat, which is weird. Too many tomatoes, too much spinach, so it’s really good food, but everything in moderation.”

What are kidney stones?
Kidney stones are a common and usually very painful condition.
They usually affect people aged 30 to 60, says the NHS.
It added: “They can be extremely painful and can lead to kidney infections or kidney failure if left untreated.”
How can you tell if you have a kidney stone?
- You have pain in the side of your abdomen
- You have severe pain that comes and goes
- You are nauseous or vomiting
Call NHS 111 or your GP if you have severe pain, a high temperature, an episode of shivering or shaking or blood in your urine.
Kidney stones are formed from chemicals in the urine.
Some are as small as a grain of sand and are excreted in the urine without you noticing. Others can be as large as pebbles.
The causes of kidney stones are:
- Drinking too little water
- Too much or too little exercise
- Obesity
- Weight loss surgery
- Eating foods with too much salt or sugar
Many kidney stones can be treated at home by drinking plenty of water, using pain relievers, and waiting for the stones to pass.
Large kidney stones need to be removed by surgery, whereby different methods break the kidney stone into smaller pieces so that they can be passed out in the urine.
Some procedures are performed under anesthesia, while others are not.
