Amanda Holden's 18-year-old daughter Lexi was hospitalised after being diagnosed with E. coli. The Britain's Got Talent judge said she spent five days under observation by doctors having suffered with severe stomach cramps and bloating, which she initially attributed to exam stress.
She described Lexi as being in 'quite a lot of pain'. In an interview with The Sun, Amanda said she took Lexi to their GP to investigate the cause of her discomfort.
After undergoing tests, it was determined Lexi had a bacterial infection. Government officials contacted the TV star, requesting her to complete forms to trace the source of Lexi's infection.
The results identified the infection as 'VTEC E.Coli, a very harmful strain of bacteria that's very rare in humans'. READ MORE: Moment 'wanted' man who pulled 'gun' on cops is arrested Amanda said Lexi became sick before the E.
