Love Island star Jazmine Nichol has updated fans after being rushed to hospital for emergency surgery earlier this week.
The Casa Amor bombshell shared her experience on social media and told fans she suffered from life-threatening sepsis. She also said she is "incredibly lucky to still be alive".
The 21-year-old became unwell in the early hours of Tuesday morning and was taken to hospital where her condition deteriorated.
Writing on 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. Whilst waiting to be seen my condition deteriorated rapidly to what I now know is Sepsis.
"Had it not been for the quick thinking and action of a staff member who noticed how unwell I had become things could have been very different.
"Within minutes I had turned a blue/grey colour and was vomiting uncontrollably. My blood pressure was 70/30. It was at this point that the doctors informed my family that I was seriously unwell."
She then shared a second post, thanking the NHS for their work.
Jasmine said: "I was fortunate to have the most amazing care and was quickly hooked up to IVs containing antibiotics and fluids.
"Blood results showed that I had developed Sepsis – so rapidly it happened in a matter of minutes. Sepsis is a rare but serious complication of an infection.
"Without treatment sepsis causes multiple organ failures and death.
"We believe this happened because I had ignored an infection whilst away from home last week and as a result needed emergency surgery in the early hours of Wednesday morning once my condition had stabilised.
"I want to thank our amazing NHS for the quick action and excellent care. I still have a long recovery ahead and will be taking some much needed rest, but I am feeling incredibly lucky to still be alive right now."
Jazmine then directed fans to the Sepsis Trust, where they can get more information.
Her latest update comes after she reassured fans she was in "good hands". Jazmine took to Instagram on Wednesday to share a snap of her arm on a drip.
She said: "Update for you all. I've taken really unwell so I'll be off my phone and not shooting any content for a while till I've recovered from surgery.
"I'm in good hands though!"
