Fern Britton is not recovered from sepsis battle

Fern Britton has still not fully recovered from her deadly battle with sepsis in 2016.
The 60-year-old television presenter almost lost her life two years ago when she developed the dangerous infection after having a hysterectomy and she has admitted, although she’s feeling "fitter", she doesn’t think she’s 100 per cent.
Speaking on ‘Good Morning Britain’ on Thursday (22.02.18), she said: "July 2016 I had a hysterectomy but unfortunately within the first three/four days. I started to feel so much pain, so unwell, sick, hot, sweaty, confused and I thought I am going to die. I am dying. This is a very important symptom of sepsis. The thought you’re going to die. I nearly died, but I didn’t, sorry! I had e coli. Spent another ten days in hospital,’ she said. ‘The ambulance were brilliant. I went straight to hospital and straight onto antibiotics.
"I am doing very, very well. The last month I’ve felt much better.
"My pain started to ease away recently and I’m feeling better. It can last up to two years. Thank goodness it was the year I took off from working …"
And now that she’s getting better, it’s believed the blonde star is set to make her television comeback with the forthcoming series ‘A Right Royal Quiz’ in which two celebrity teams go head-to-head in several rounds as they test their knowledge on the queen and her relatives.
A source said recently: "As a nation obsessed with every move of the Royal Family, this new ITV show is tipped to be a massive success.
"Big names in the showbiz world will go head-to-head in a series of quiz rounds all based on the monarchy.
"The studio audience will also be given a look back at some nostalgic clips of our beloved royals and will have a good chuckle at things that might not go to plan.
"It promises to be a right royal knees-up with Fern at the helm."
