Rose, who is still in Spain, first announced her condition and subsequent cancellation of shows via Instagram on Friday.

Fans started calling Rose's excuse into question, forcing the actress to later defend herself.

"It's upsetting to see people questioning me getting tonsillitis .. And cancelling 2 of 15 shows in a month.. Off the back of filming a movie," she tweeted.

"But I don't party, I've not been to one club except when playing here and I've had a 3 day vacation with childhood friends I flew out.." she added. ".. Where we slept, watched movies and went to the beach. I dont drink as everyone knows, I'm run down and got tonsillitis its that simple."
