This Morning presenters Eamonn Holmes and Ruth Langsford listened in horror as teenager Millie Taplin recalled how she'd been 'left paralysed' and thought she was going to die after having her drink spiked on her first night out.
Millie, 18, made headlines at the weekend after her mum Claire shared footage of the terrifying state she was left in after rapidly becoming unwell whilst out with friends at MooMoo Clubrooms in Southend.
It was reported that a man had offered Millie a drink, telling her "try this" and she was soon rushed to A&E, where doctors suspected she had been given two drugs - "one to paralyse and one to knock her out."

The drugs left Millie looking like, in her mum's words, 'something from the Exorcist,' as she lay in a hospital bed, after being rushed to A&E, with wide eyes, jaw clenched and her hands clawed.
Millie appeared on Monday's This Morning alongside her older sister Sadie to join hosts Eamonn and Ruth after the distressing footage of her in hospital aired on screen.
Millie said it was "hard to pinpoint," which drink it was that led to her being in hospital, with Sadie telling the husband and wife pair that she got a phone call from one of Millie's friends and rushed to the scene to drive her to A&E.
She told Ruth and Eamonn : "I just knew this was more than her being a bit drunk," before Millie told them: "I knew everything that was going on.
"I could hear everyone talking, about the blood tests and other people that had come in spiked and I wanted to speak to them and have a conversation about it but there was just nothing."
Ruth asked her to describe what it felt like being in her body, to which Millie told her: "It was just scary. You're so aware but I couldn't do anything about it."
When asked about her thoughts on her mum releasing the footage of her in hospital, Millie replied: "I was almost embarrassed, horrified," before revealing it wasn't until 2-3pm the day after that she started to feel more normal.
Ruth said Millie's experience acted as a "warning," for friends to stick together on nights out before Millie admitted she had a "bit more of a panic feeling," about back going out, saying she'd be "constantly on edge."
Eamonn read out a statement from Essex Police saying that no arrests had yet been made and enquiries were ongoing.
