LOVE Island's Laura Anderson revealed having to rush her baby to hospital when her temperature and heart rate spiked was the scariest moment of her life.
The reality star, who has taken over from Tallia Storm as co-host of Capital's breakfast show, admitted she was in a total panic when her daughter became really unwell on Tuesday afternoon.
Laura, 34, who was forced to miss her radio show on Wednesday, said that, although seven-month-old Bonnie is much better now, it will be a long time before she will forget the fear she felt when she took ill.
The former flight attendant, who is raising her daughter alone after splitting with her ex Gary Lucy, 42, said: "I swear it was the scariest 24 hours of my life. Bonnie is my world and I felt so helpless.
"I came home from work on Tuesday and she wasn't her usual happy, smiley self and I knew instantly that something was wrong. I took her temperature and it was sitting at 39C and her wee heart was racing, I phoned 111 but it said the service was unavailable.
"I tried giving her Calpol but she just kept spitting it out. I didn't know what to do so I phoned the children's hospital and they told me to take her straight to A&E. My heart sank. I wasn't overreacting and this was serious.
"My heart was in my mouth the whole way to the hospital. I felt sick. When we got there they tested her oxygen and told me they wanted to monitor her as her heart rate was quite high and her tonsils were swollen. After a few hours, they discharged her and told me to get a urine sample and take it to my GP in the morning
Laura, runner-up in the 2018 series of Love Island, added: "I managed to get a sample the next day which was quite a feat and involved putting cotton wool balls in her nappy. The GP tested it and it was clear. They said sometimes they can get a viral thing and it can raise their heart rate up as well when they've got a temperature so that's quite alarming.
