Love Island star Jazmine Nichol has said she is "incredibly lucky to still be alive" after being diagnosed with a life-threatening disease and undergoing emergency surgery. The 21-year-old, who entered the villa as a part of this year's Casa Amor, was rushed to hospital after she started vomiting uncontrollably and turned grey.
Once there, doctors diagnosed her with sepsis - a potentially deadly reaction that occurs when your immune system overreacts to an infection and begins to destroy your body's own tissues and organs. The nightclub manager said she is now facing a "long recovery" after being taken for an emergency operation, Birmingham Live reports.
Posting to her Instagram story, Jazmine said: "I'd like to firstly thank everyone for their concern over my health this past week and let everyone know what's happened. I became unwell in the early hours of Tuesday morning and was taken into hospital later that day.
