Saffron uploaded a photo of her arm with a tube attached, as she revealed: “After getting my bloods taken turns out I didn’t have that but my white blood cells were half the number they should be so very low and therefore my whole body was trying to fight the infection.”
Saffron then shared a video of her arms and told fans: “This is what the rashes looked like all over my body.”
Luckily, the content creator appears to be on the mend as she posted again from the bath.
She wrote: “Today is the first day I have woken up and they are settling so feeling grateful.”
