Love Island star reveals she needs daily hospital visits after terrifying illness made ‘life flash before her eyes’
LOVE Island's Jazmine Nichol has revealed she needs daily hospital visits after suffering a terrible illness.
Jazmine, 21, last week told how she'd ended up with life-threatening sepsis which saw her "turn grey" and "vomit uncontrollably".
During a new Q&A the former Casa Amor bombshell gave fans an update on her health scare.
She said: "Physically I'm healing but I have to have daily hospital appointments - unsure how long this will be for but I know I'm in good hands.
"Mentally it's a lot to comprehend having your life flash before your eyes at 21. But I have the best support system and people who check in on me every day.
"I'm starting to do business meetings and getting back into a routine. Very grateful to be given this second chance at life."

Last week Jazmine shared the scare news of her brush with death, writing on Instagram: "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 continaing antibiotics and fluids.
"Blood results showed that I had developed Sepsis - so rapidly it happened in a matter of minutes."
The reality star then explained what sepsis is, adding: "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."
She added: ";I want to thank our amazing NHS for the quick action and excellent care.
