Kate Moss left with paralysed arm after night out at Ritz

Kate Moss has been diagnosed with a nerve disorder that has rendered her “temporarily paralysed”, according to friends.

The 38-year-old supermodel was unable to move her right arm after a night out at the Ritz hotel in Paris.

Although she will make a full recovery, the illness is a blow for Moss, who is about to move into her new £7.25 million house in Highgate, North London, with husband Jamie Hince.

The couple have built a state-of-the-art gym at the property, but it will be some time before Moss is pumping iron.

“Kate was at the Ritz when she woke and had no feeling in her arm, which was terrifying,” the Daily Mail quoted a friend as saying.

“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,” the friends said.

As Kate prepares to move into her luxury mansion, which has cardio machines, a marble wetroom and sauna as well as a huge Turkish steam bath with Jacuzzi, she may need an extra pair of hands to help with all the unpacking.

For the time being, an unhappy Moss has told friends that she cannot even take the lid off a jar.

“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,” the friend said.

Kate plans a housewarming party, which has been pushed back until she has fully recovered.

“Her hand is not paralysed or injured in any permanent way,” a source close to the supermodel said.
