The Eurovision star appeared on Loose Women in April and was reduced to tears as she spoke about her ailing daughter. She revealed that Josie was in hospital after falling very ill the previous month, prior to being diagnosed with bacterial meningitis. The 18-year-old was admitted into intensive care and placed in an induced coma after her organs started to fail. Jay told Kay Adams, Frankie Bridge, Katie Piper and Jane Moore: “We almost lost her.”Continuing, Jay said that she was aware it was meningitis that Josie had, as her husband contracted the condition 19 years ago, so she knew how to spot it. She explained that Josie was her “silver lining” after losing her husband. “I knew what to look for,” she added. The star said on the show that Josie was comfortable with her mum going public with the news. She explained that her daughter wanted people to be aware of what happened to her. Jay added that Josie was healthy and on a fitness kick on the days leading up to her diagnosis. She said: “She called me to say she wasn't feeling well...“She'd been lying in the sun and I thought had a bit of heatstroke.”Jay said that she tried to bring her temperature down but failed. The star added that she had to take Josie to A&E herself, as the ambulances didn’t respond. A tearful Jay went on: “I had her in my bed with me and she woke up at about 3am and told me, 'I'm not right.'"She said then, breaking into tears: "If she'd gone in her own bed I don't think I'd have a daughter," before the panelists comforted her.Jay said that she found a rash on Josie's arm in the early morning after putting on her bedroom light to take a look at her.She said her reaction was “oh god, not again”.Jay confirmed it was nearly identical to what her

Emmerdale actor Mark Charnock was left in “shock” after doing research for the show’s storyline that sees his character, Marlon Dingle, suffer a stroke. The 53-year-old told Express.co.uk and other media outlets how finding out more about the condition has been a “total eye-opener” for him.He also highlighted the “sheer weight” of the stroke figures in the UK, where “a stroke occurs every 5 minutes”.Mark said: “Working with Emmerdale‘s research team and the Stroke Association on this storyline has been a total eye-opener for me.“We hear the word ‘stroke’ bandied around a great deal, but being confronted with the sheer weight of numbers in this country alone has been a shock.“A stroke occurs every 5 minutes in the UK - over 100,000 a year.”Mark has expressed hopes that his portrayal will raise awareness on the “devastating” consequences of a stroke.He said: “More can and should be done to raise awareness and hopefully, this story can help with that.“It’s an enormous responsibility to try and get it right for the survivors and their families and for those who’ve lost loved ones to this awful event.The TV star continued: “No two strokes are the same, but the after-effects are devastating.“I’m very proud of the show for telling it and for letting me be a part of it.”Elsewhere during the interview, Mark reflected on how the stroke changed Marlon’s life “forever”.He explained that, following the stroke, Marlon’s outlook on the future changed as he feared he “can’t be the dad he wanted to be” for his children.Mark said: “I don't think he’s going to get to where he wants to be for a long time, and we're just at the beginning of his journey.“He can't work anymore, and he feels, wrongly, that he can't be the dad he wants to be
