Beth Budgen, from Newbury in Berkshire, thought she just had a cold when she woke up feeling ill on Christmas Eve.

But she started developing agonising pain the next day, vomited blue liquid and was rushed to A&E in Basingstoke.

She was diagnosed with sepsis and spent seven months in hospital where her legs and parts of her fingers were amputated

She spoke to 5 Live Drive鈥檚 Clare McDonnell: 鈥淚 remember calling her and saying Lisa [her sister] they鈥檙e going to take my legs off so apparently that鈥檚 a thing鈥�.

Back home, Beth now wants to spread awareness of the symptoms of sepsis - a disease that some refer to as the 鈥榟idden killer鈥�.
