Jazmine wrote: “First of all I would like to thank everyone for their concern for my health over the past week and let everyone know what has happened.
“I was unwell in the early hours of Tuesday morning and was admitted to hospital later in the day. While waiting to be examined, my condition rapidly deteriorated into what I know today as sepsis.
“Things could have turned out very differently without the quick thinking and acting of an employee who realized how ill I had become.
“Within minutes I had turned a blue-grey color and was vomiting uncontrollably. My blood pressure was 70/30. At that point, the doctors told my family that I felt seriously ill.

“I was fortunate to receive the most amazing care and was quickly put on IVs containing antibiotics and fluids. Blood results showed I had developed sepsis – so quickly it happened in minutes.
In a second post, the reality star continued, “Sepsis is a rare but serious complication of infection. Without treatment, sepsis leads to multiple organ failure and death.
“We believe this happened because I ignored an infection when I was away from home last week and as a result required emergency surgery in the early hours of Wednesday morning once my condition stabilized.”
“I would like to thank our amazing NHS for acting quickly and providing excellent care. I still have a long recovery ahead of me and will be giving myself some much needed rest, but I feel incredibly fortunate to be alive right now.
Jazmine then shared a link to her followers to learn more about sepsis.

What are the main symptoms of sepsis? The “silent killer” that can cause death in minutes
Known as the “silent killer,” sepsis strikes when an infection, such as blood poisoning, triggers a violent immune response in which the body attacks its own organs.
It is a potentially life-threatening condition triggered by infection or injury. According to the UK Sepsis Trust, around 245,000 people develop sepsis and 52,000 die from it in the UK each year.
Instead of attacking the invading bug, the body turns itself on, shutting down vital organs.
If caught early enough, it can be easily treated with intravenous antibiotics and fluids, but these must be given as soon as sepsis is suspected — it strikes with frightening speed, and for every hour delayed, a patient’s chance of dying increases by 8 percent.
Sepsis is a leading cause of preventable death, killing 44,000 people each year
The early symptoms of sepsis can easily be mistaken for milder conditions, meaning it can be difficult to diagnose.
A high temperature (fever), chills and tremors, rapid heartbeat and rapid breathing are also signs.
A patient can quickly deteriorate if sepsis is overlooked early, so prompt diagnosis and treatment is critical – but this rarely happens.
In the early stages, sepsis can be mistaken for a chest infection, the flu, or an upset stomach.
It is most common and dangerous in older adults, pregnant women, children under the age of one, people with chronic medical conditions, or people with compromised immune systems.
The six signs of something potentially deadly can be identified by the acronym “SEPSIS”:
- Slurred speech or confusion
- Extreme tremors or muscle pain
- No urine in a day
- Severe shortness of breath
- Mottled or discolored skin
Anyone who develops any of these symptoms should seek urgent medical help — and doctors should ask, “Could this be sepsis?”

“I’m so overwhelmed by all the lovely messages I’ve seen and the funny memes!”

The nightclub manager claimed that Andrew was interested in her, but it wasn’t shown during the hour-long episodes.
Jazmine appeared on a podcast after being kicked off the island and shared how Andrew called her the ‘girl of his dreams’ and they enjoyed a day of flirting as she explained: ‘I thought I’d meet up with a boyfriend out”.
