Miss Merseyside has revealed she almost died after collapsing in her West Derby home.
Paige Loren Cannon James was rushed to Royal Liverpool Hospital to undergo a five-hour life saving operation after her appendix burst in two places. The beauty queen was told by doctors she is "lucky to be alive" after the health scare in November 2022.
The 18-year-old personal trainer and model has now been left with a 4cm-long scar on her stomach which she plans to "embrace." Next month, Paige is set to fly to Vietnam where she will represent England in the Miss Charm beauty contest and show off her scar when she parades in the swimsuit round.
