Love Island 2018 contestant Laura Crane has spent the past week in hospital following a battle with sepsis.
She was first admitted to hospital last week, where she has since been fighting the deadly infection, which spread rapidly.
Her rep told The Sun: "She’s still in hospital bless her. It’s taken a lot out of her and until they’ve got rid of the infection she won’t be able to go home.
"It will be closing up to a week if she’s still in there tomorrow. It’s a case of testing her every day. She’s been incredibly lucky, it’s very hard for an athlete to be out of training for this amount of time too."
