Billie Faiers has shared the frightening moment her mother was hospitalised when a water infection developed into sepsis.
The 31-year-old previously explained that her mother Suzie Wells, 53, quickly deteriorated after she started feeling unwell and was eventually rushed to A&E.
The moment Suzie collapsed shaking during the life-threatening ordeal has been revealed in an episode of Billie and Greg: The Family Diaries.
Sam and sister Billie Shepherd shared details of the health scare with fans at the time and are now showing what happened on their ITV show, as Suzie can be seen lying in hospital as a friend stroked her head.
Suzie is seen shaking as she later admits she had “never felt so bad in her whole life.”
Pregnant star Billie is seen sitting in the car next to husband Greg Shepherd as she says: “What a night, what a night. That was horrendous.
“I’d say it was about midnight when she started turning for the worse, and she was being sick and grey and then she was freezing. Her whole body was shaking. It was really scary.”
The clip then shows Billie talking to mum, who admits to being more concerned about Billie taking the kids back to school.
“You must’ve been shattered, you didn’t need that until three in the morning,” Suzie says.
Suzie explains that doctors had scanned her organs and said that nothing had been affected, adding that it had “just started to set in.”
Billie said it was a “reality check”, saying: “Don’t ever do that to me again.”
The blonde beauty had attempted to take her mum to hospital on Friday before the ordeal but Suzie had “talked her out of it.”
“Next time we’re just going, but there won’t be a next time because it’ll never get to that,” Billie says.
At the time, Sam and Billie said: “Our mum wasn’t very well. It started last week, she had a water infection and it got worse and worse which resulted in going into mum’s kidneys. So we took her to A+E because she massively deteriorated.
“She had antibiotics and it wasn’t working. I managed to speak to a doctor and I told him all of her symptoms so he told me to take her to A+E because she needs medical attention. Basically the water infection had got so bad that it turned into sepsis.”
Their mother was feeling “so poorly” and was “feverish, being sick, weak” and had “pains in her back and was delirious”.
"As her daughters, we had to make the decision," Sam continued. "We couldn’t even have another night at home. She needed to go in."
"Mum was in the hospital for about 15 hours in total and they flushed her system through. She’s on the mend which is really good," they said.
