This condition refers to a swelling of the tissue in one or both of your lungs which can cause breathing issues.
Tom, who is the younger brother of Cara Kilbey, revealed how he had been left “scared” after he was hospitalised.
Tom shared the news on her Instagram Stories, where he gave fans an update on her health.
Tom wrote: “Pneumonia really put me through it, the scariest and toughest health moment of my life.
“The NHS and Charing Cross Hospital looked after me like heroes and I’ll forever be grateful.
“Still a bit of recovery to go, but I’m on the way back and thank you to my little girlfriend @ninasofey for taking care of me.”
Tom didn’t reveal anymore details of when he contracted Pneumonia, or how long he has been in hospital.
Meanwhile, Tom’s sister Cara and her family have also had a few trips to the hospital over the last 12 months.
In December, the reality star revealed how her son Jagger had suffered a nasty injury while visiting Santa.
Cara told fans at the time how a festive outing with her then two-year-old took an unexpected turn, leaving him with a fractured finger.
It came just a few weeks before she had revealed that she’d taken Jagger to hospital again after he was “really unwell”.
A few months before that, her daughter was taken to the emergency room after after an accident on holiday .
Cara joined the cast of The Only Way Is Essex in September 2011.
She was introduced to fans as Billi Mucklow‘s best friend.
Tom then joined the show not long after.
Cara met her boyfriend Daniel in 2014 and a year later she tragically suffered a miscarriage when she was five months pregnant.
They went on to have Penelope, Hunter and Jagger.
