Jazmine Nichol has revealed she is now stable after developing sepsis.
The Love Island star, 21, took to her Instagram Stories on Friday where she posted an update on her terrifying health scare, admitting she was ‘feeling lucky to be alive’ after previously telling fans she’d been rushed to hospital for emergency surgery.
The nightclub manager – who shot to fame as a Casa Amor bombshell – revealed that she was ‘vomiting uncontrollably’ and turned ‘blue/grey’ and as sepsis developed within minutes after she was rushed to A&E needing emergency surgery.
It comes days after Jazmine shared a snap of herself hooked up to a drip while lying on a hospital bed and revealed that she’d undergone an operation after becoming ‘really unwell’ with – what was at that time – a mystery illness.

Jazmine wrote: ‘I’d like to firstly thank everyone for their concern over my health this past week and let everyone know what’s happened.
‘I became unwell in the early hours of Tuesday morning and was taken into hospital later that day. Whilst waiting to be seen my condition deteriorated rapidly to what I now know is sepsis.
‘Had it not been for the quick thinking and action of a staff member who noticed how unwell I had become things could have been very different.
‘Within minutes I had turned a blue/grey colour and was vomiting uncontrollably. My blood pressure was 70/30. It was at this point that the doctors informed my family that I was seriously unwell.

‘I was fortunate to have the most amazing care and was quickly hooked up to IVs containing antibiotics and fluids. Blood results showed that I had developed Sepsis – so rapidly it happened in a matter of minutes.
On a second post, the reality star continued: ‘Sepsis is a rare but serious complication of an infection. Without treatment sepsis causes multiple organ failures and death.
‘We believe this happened because I had ignored an infection whilst away from home last week and as a result needed emergency surgery in the early hours of Wednesday morning once my condition had stabilised.’
‘I want to thank our amazing NHS for the quick action and excellent care. I still have a long recovery ahead and will be taking some much needed rest, but I am feeling incredibly lucky to still be alive right now.’
Jazmine then shared a link for her followers to find out more about sepsis.

Last month, Jazmine slammed Love Island bosses for failing to ‘show her on screen’.
After leaving the Spanish villa, she told her social media followers: ‘Hi guys, it’s Jaz, I’m back. Just want to say a huge thank you for all of the love and support I’ve seen so far.
‘I’m so overwhelmed with all the lovely messages I’ve seen and the funny memes!’
She continued: ‘I’m excited for all of you to see my personality that was not shown on screen and the Jaz that the villa saw, this is only the start.’
Love Islander: Jazmine entered Love Island as one of the six Casa Amor bombshells
Bombshell! Following her stint, Jazmine shockingly revealed she shared a connection with Andrew Le Page which wasn’t aired on the show
Jazmine entered the show alongside EastEnders extra Summer Bowte, 22, who had her eyes on Dami; graphic designer and ring girl Coco Lodge, 27, who was hoping to steal Andrew Le Paige from Tasha.
As always, the Islanders had to coupled up in order to secure their place in the villa, with those who stayed single finding themselves dumped from the island.
And following her stint in Love Island, Jazmine shockingly revealed she shared a connection with Andrew Le Page which wasn’t aired on the show.
The nightclub manager claimed that Andrew was interested in her but it wasn’t shown during the one-hour long episodes.
Appearing on a podcast after being dumped from the island, Jazmine told how Andrew called her the ‘girl of his dreams’ and they enjoyed a day of flirting, as she declared: ‘I thought I was coming out with a boyfriend’.
