Reality TV star and model Laura Alicia Summers has described the trauma of watching her face swell and burn amid a mystery skin condition that sparked an emergency hospital dash. Model Laura found fame on MTV's Ex On the Beach and is known for her glamorous appearance on the city's celebrity social scene.
But over recent months a mystery skin condition that has baffled doctors has been getting worse and worse. It came to a head earlier this week when her face began to "swell and burn" and she began to struggle to breathe.
She raced herself to A&E at Tameside Hospital - where medics administered emergency steroids and anti-inflammatory and anthistimanes through a drip. After already waiting nine months to see a hospital dermatologist, she has now been placed on the emergency waiting list at Tameside and is hoping to see someone within the next two weeks.
