Maura Higgins has revealed her terrifying ordeal with Toxic Shock Syndrome (TSS) after medics found a three-month old tampon attached to her cervix.
The former Love Island contestant said that she went through a "very bad experience", and is hoping to raise awareness about the risks of menstrual products to others by speaking out.
Although TSS is usually associated with tampon use in younger women, it can affect anyone and has the potential to become fatal if not treated in the appropriate manner.
