Dr Hilary Jones has warned of the symptoms of meningitis after Jay Aston of Bucks Fizz and her daughter was on ITV's Lorraine retelling their experience.
Jay's daughter Josie, 18, developed meningitis earlier in April this year and was rushed to hospital where she put in a coma.
Jay became concerned when she noticed a small rash on the inside of Josie's arm which rapidly spread over her body. Earlier that day, Josie said she was feeling unwell and thought it was sunstroke after she had been sunbathing.
