Dancing on Ice's Ben Hanlin has opened up about his seven-month-old daughter's terrifying battle with sepsis
March 01, 2020 - 17:32 GMT Emmy Griffiths Dancing on Ice star Ben Hanlin has opened up about his terror after his baby daughter, Delilah, was taken very ill with sepsis in early February. Speaking to The Sun about the incident, Ben explained:"She had mottled skin and a temperature of 103. Doctors managed to bring it down with glucose and antibiotics, but we were still in hospital for days. It was terrifying.
According to Sepsis Trust, symptoms to look out for in children include if he or she is breathing very fast, has a convulsion, looks mottled, bluish or pale, has a rash that doesn't fade when pressed, is very lethargic or difficult to wake and feels abnormally cold to touch. If the child is under five, it is also important to look out for if he or she isn't feeding, is vomiting repeatedly or hasn't passed urine in 12 hours.
