Love Island star terrified as she reveals daughter is fighting Strep A

Love Island's Chloe Crowhurst has confirmed her daughter Aria has been diagnosed with Strep A.

The star who found fame on the programme back in 2017 shared her horror after spotting a string of unusual symptoms on her nine-month-old.

Chloe took to social media to share a snap of her daughter and explained that she noticed a change in Aria's appearance.

In view of her 277,000 followers, while sharing the news on her Instagram Stories, Chloe said: "My baby girl has the dreaded Strep A.

"I honestly have the symptoms saved in my phone and have read lots of info on this because I was so worried like most mummies are.

"I feel like the symptoms vary so much in each individual, so I'm going to share Aria's with you. They are not just the textbook symptoms!"

Chloe continued: "I honestly went to the doctor because her face looks so bad, didn’t expect it to be Strep.

"It breaks my heart but she's doing just fine, but we know our babies better than anyone. Always get them checked if you're worried!"

She went on to list Aria's symptoms which included sores on her chin, a rash all over her body which included a blister and dry rash, spits on her throat and was "completely not herself".

Strep A has taken the lives of 19 children since September this year but can be mild and treated with antibiotics.

Illnesses include skin infection impetigo, strep throat and scarlet fever.

Chloe welcomed her daughter Aria with her boyfriend David Houghton in April this year, having initially kept her pregnancy quiet.

The star said she had previously been placed under specialist care having suffered three devastating miscarriages before welcoming Aria.

Speaking on Fubar Radio, the star said: "With my pregnancy, I didn't announce it for quite a long time, just because I've had very bad experiences in the past with pregnancies and stuff like that.

"I've had three miscarriages before, so I was under quite specialist care at first, it wasn't something I wanted to advertise and cause stress upon."

The reality bombshell stated that hypnobirthing had helped her throughout her pregnancy, explaining: "It's all about your mindset with hypnobirthing and I do believe that obviously having a positive mindset will be helpful to me."

Chloe and David choose to keep their relationship away from social media as she believes there is no benefit to sharing it online.
