“It’s taking time to control her temperature and rid her blood of the infection, but it had spread quite rapidly.
“A scary time for her and her family but we’re praying she makes a full recovery in the next couple of days.”
Laura, 23, shared a video with her followers this mornings and appeared in slightly better spirits.

She told her fans: “No more hospitals I beg, pray I go home tomorrow.”
The star also hinted that she hadn’t heard from some friends as she shared a post that read: “Hard times will always reveal true friend” and then added “facts”.
Laura rose to fame on Love Island this summer when she partnered up with Jack Fowler.
The couple split less than two months after leaving the dating show due to “busy schedules”.

"Feel truly blessed to have got to share my Love Island experience with him and to have made a friend for life.
"We will carry on supporting each other on this journey and I can’t wait to see where it takes us."
HOW DO YOU KNOW IF YOU HAVE SEPSIS?
Septicaemia, also known as sepsis, is a rare but serious complication of an infection that can quickly lead to multiple organ failure and death.
Also known as blood poisoning, it occurs when large amounts of bacteria enter the bloodstream.
Bacterial meningitis can lead to septicaemia.
Sepsis can also be caused by viral or fungal infections, although bacterial infections are by far the most common cause.
If any of these symptoms develop you should seek medical advice straight away.
