Britain’s Got Talent finalist Tom Ball has revealed he rushed to A&E with a life-threatening condition just hours before the biggest moment of his life.
The schoolteacher from West Sussex found himself lying in a hospital bed fearing he’d miss out on performing in the final of the competition.
Tom, 24, has type one diabetes and was suffering from ketoacidosis. The condition is a potentially fatal complication for those with diabetes as it involves the body not having enough insulin to break down sugar into energy.
