Amanda Holden’s daughter Lexi, 18, in hospital e-coli fight
TV star Amanda Holden’s daughter Lexi was admitted to hospital with life-threatening E.coli — one of the first to be struck down in the latest outbreak.For about three weeks, Lexi had been complaining of bloating and stomach cramps.It was around the time of revision and her A-levels, so I was just putting this down to exam stress.From here the cultures were sent off to where they would be grown to determine what bacteria it was and what antibiotics to put her on.
, my youngest, in the car with me when the doctor called and said: “I don’t want to alarm you Amanda, but Lexi’s bloods and everything else are through the roof. You need to check that her temperature doesn’t rise because she’s in danger of contracting sepsis.”Lexi, a straight-A student, is literally in the middle of her exams.
Eventually, we were told Lexi was the 113th case in the country — but the doctor warned us this was tip- of-the-iceberg stuff, and more cases were to come.We kept it quiet at the time because we didn’t want to cause mass panic and we didn’t know for quite some time what we were dealing with.Britain's Got Talent host Amanda gifted BGT final tickets to all the nurses and the main team to say thank youShe has now suggested we share her story to help raise awareness.
We think Lexi caught it from a bag of pre-washed supermarket lettuce, which is scary as obviously you think ‘pre-washed’ means it’s fine.Lexi went from being a perfectly happy girl looking forward to the summer holidays and university, to a very poorly one who feared losing everything she had worked so hard for in a matter of days.
