Capital FM presenter Aimee Vivian has been rushed to hospital with a life-threatening illness just weeks after giving birth. The 34-year-old radio host, who welcomed her first child last month, is now receiving treatment for sepsis . According to the NHS , sepsis is a serious condition that can be difficult to spot. It occurs when your immune system overreacts to an infection, causing damage to the body’s own tissues and organs. Aimee was admitted to hospital on Sunday after she was experiencing mastitis – a condition where the breast becomes swollen, hot and painful, the Mirror reports. In a worrying update to her fans, she shared: “Thank you all for your kind messages.” “Little update, I am still in hospital after being admitted on Sunday and developing sepsis. There’s still a lot of unanswered questions and things to get a hold on, so when I can I’ll be more open and I’ll be looking into working with mastitis charities to spread awareness on it.” Despite still being in hospital, Aimee shared her wishes to help other women. She continued: “We know how underfunded women’s health is, but seriously things have got to change. “If men produced milk, pushing through the pain of a blocked duct, mastitis etc wouldn’t be a thing. If anyone works for/knows charities or companies, let me know as I’d love to touch base once this is all over.” The DJ went on to reveal her pain at being apart from her newborn daughter, Charli Carter just four weeks after giving birth. “Not being with your baby in the first month of their life is the most unnatural and abnormal thing,” she heartbreakingly stated. “Literally count down the minutes in the morning till she gets here and dread her leaving at night. But focusing all my energy on getting better for her.” Aimee concluded her post by sharing a heartwarming tribute to her husband, who she likes to stay private with. “Lastly to my superhuman husband, thank you. Without you, I would have broken.” Just last month, Aimee revealed the exciting news that she had welcomed her first child. She made the announcement after people noticed she was absent from Capital FM’s Summertime Ball with her co-hosts. She shared a photo of her at the event previously, with the caption: “Wishing my @capitalofficial & all of you an amazing Summertime ball day. Sad to miss it but as you might of guessed by my silence on here, our new little addition has arrived so we have very much been in our newborn love bubble.” “Swapping backstage at Wembley for watching on YouTube with milk in one hand and a nappy in the other this year. Update on baby soon x.” Aimee then posted an update with a photo of her baby girl, revealing her name. Proud mum Aimee gushed: “Charli Carter. The girl who stole my heart forever.” The radio host announced her pregnancy in February with a heartfelt black and white video. In it, she showed a cake decorated with the words “coming soon,” alongside a scan photo and a little pair of baby boots.
