Supermodel may suffer 'temporary paralysis' for months

Kate Moss is suffering from temporary paralysis in her right arm.

Kate Moss is suffering from temporary paralysis in her right arm.

The supermodel has been diagnosed with a nerve disorder after waking up in the Ritz hotel in Paris, France, last weekend unable to move the limb.

A source told the Mail on Sunday newspaper: "Kate was at the Ritz when she woke and had no feeling in her arm, which was terrifying. 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.

"Her hand is not paralysed or injured in any permanent way."

The news came as a blow to Kate - who has nine-year-old daughter Lila Grace with former boyfriend Jefferson Hack - as she and husband Jamie Hince are preparing to move into a new £7.25m home in Highgate, north London.

The source added: "Jamie will do most of the unpacking as Kate has been in a lot of pain. She was told the condition could take months to heal. She has told all her friends about her hospital drama."
