The Sun reported on Friday how James’s mum Stephanie, 28, feared for her son’s life after he came into “direct and significant” contact with an infected GP in hospital.

The pair, along with James’s dad and sister, were rushed back to ­hospital then quarantined at home.

Relieved Stephanie, who has also been given the all-clear, told The Sun on Sunday tonight: “After everything we’ve been through — the panic, the terror — it’s a huge weight off our shoulders.

“We still have to stay indoors until next week but we are jumping for joy.

'SO RELIEVED'

“It’s been a really crazy week, I can’t put it into words.

“I’m just so relieved it’s all over and my family are going to be OK.”

James had been suffering severe symptoms including a sweltering temperature, coughing fits, runny nose and extreme fatigue.

Stephanie was phoned on Tuesday by officials from Public Health England who told them they were at risk.

Within minutes, paramedics in hazmat suits arrived and took them in an ambulance to hospital for testing.

James had been put at risk by contact with a GP from Brighton who had been on holiday with virus “super-spreader” Stephen Walsh, 53.

Dad-of-two Stephen caught the virus in Singapore and unwittingly spread the infection to 11 Brits — including GPs — on a ski trip in France.
