A family may be forced to flee to UK for the Med because their six-year-old is so allergic to the cold that they fear she could die on the school run. Kelsey Quant suffers from a rare condition called chronic cold urticaria meaning that she can't be outside for more than a few minutes without breaking out in painful hives and her throat swelling.
Her allergy is so severe that mum Kimberley Quant says she has to completely wrap up little Kelsey and run to their car or her exposed skin will be covered in blisters. The 33-year-old says she and hubby Freddie Quant, 32, are considering moving to the Mediterranean out of fear that the cold could send their daughter into anaphylactic shock.
The family are currently spending a 'horrendous' £18 on energy bills every day in a bid to keep the youngster warm and are forced to keep her home from school during the winter. The schoolgirl has also been in tears this week watching sisters Ella, 15, Leah, 13, and Freya, eight, play out in the snow.
