Love Island star Laura Crane has thanked fans for their well wishes after being rushed to hospital with sepsis.
The surfer, who was thrust into the limelight after appearing on the ITV2 show this summer, posted a series of snaps from her hospital bed days after being rushed in earlier this week.
A representative for Crane confirmed her alarming diagnosis, which her family are “praying” she makes a full recovery from.
The statement read: “Yes Laura is sadly quite unwell. She was rushed in on Tuesday and they quickly diagnosed sepsis.
“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.”
Posting on her Instagram story on Friday, Crane thanked fans for their well wishes, adding that “health is wealth”.
The 23-year-old also shared a shot of outside her hospital bed as she “begged” that she would be able to go home today.
Crane’s time in the Love Island villa was short after she enterted the villa weeks after the main cast. But she managed to find romance with Jack Fowler and raise a plastic baby with him.
They were dumped days before the final, which was won by Dani Dyer and Jack Fincham, while Fowler's ex Laura Anderson made the top couples with Paul Knops.
The duo have since gone their separate ways, after a two months of dating, due to “busy schedules and not having the time to spend together”.
